Solution

The correct option is C temperature increases
The ionic product of water is the product of the concentration of $H^{+}$ and $O H^{-}$ ions in water at a particular temperature. With an increase in temperature, there is an increase in dissociation of $H_{2} O$ which gives rise to an increase in the concentration of $H^{+}$ and $O H^{-}$ ions. Hence, the ionic product of water increases with an increase in temperature
