Solution

The correct option is B 0.2 mol of NaOH and 0.4 mol of HF
A buffer solution is an aqueous solution consisting of a mixture of an acid and its conjugate base. Its pH changes very little when a small amount of strong acid or base is added to it. Hence solution of NaOH/HF is a buffer solution.
