Answer 1

The correct option is A

The strong affinity of sulphuric acid for water

The properties of sulphuric acid are:

(1) It turns blue litmus red.

(2) Sulphuric acid has a great affinity for water.

(3) It readily removes elements of water from other compounds i.e, it acts as a dehydrating agent.
