Solution

The correct option is B neutral
Water is neutral in nature.
Since pH is defined as the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration, the pH of pure water is 7 or neutral. Pure water is neutral because the number of positive hydrogen ions produced is equal to the number of negative hydroxide ions.
