Solution

The correct option is D Acidic
Let us try and decode the hint shall we?
The reaction is hydrolysis. Now what is hydrolysis? In simple terms, it is the chemical breakdown of a chemical compound using water. Now let us try and use the information available:
$F e S O_{4} + 2 H_{2} O ⇌ F e (O H)_{2} + H_{2} S O_{4}$
Given that the products of hydrolysis contains a weak base and a strong acid, the concentration of H⁺ will be much larger and thus the solution is acidic.
