Solution

The correct option is A

a) ii only


A)

Explanation:

Phenolphthalein Test: 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.

China rose solution gives dark pink (magenta) colour with acid and green colour with base.

Litmus Test: The main use of litmus is to test whether a solution is acidic or basic. Blue litmus paper turns red under acidic conditions and red litmus paper turns blue under basic or alkaline conditions.
