Solution

The correct options are
A dissociation of acid or base is diminished
B the pH of the solution in case of acid increases and in case of base decreases
Due to common ion effect, if a salt of weak acid or base is added to a solution of its acid or base respectively, the dissociation of acid or base is diminished.

As a result, concentration of hydrogen ions or hydroxide ion will change and pH of solution increases in case of acid and decreases in case of base.

As pH=log[H+]
