Solution

The correct option is C $a l l c o r r e c t$
In water, or aqueous solutions of $H C l$ or $H_{2} S O_{4},$ proton exists as either $H_{3} O^{+}$ or $H (H_{2} O)_{2}^{+}$ or $H (H_{2} O)_{3}^{+}$ .

Thus, proton does not exist as free proton $H^{+}$ but it is solvated with one, two or three molecules of water.

Option D is correct.
