Solution

The correct option is C Phenolphthalein

Phenolphthalein is often used as an indicator in acid–base titrations. For this application, it turns colourless in acidic solutions and pink in basic solutions.

Changing of colour of Phenolphthalein from pink to colourless indicates end of titration and hence, it is preferable internal indicator.
