Solution

The correct option is A It turns red.
Litmus is an acid-base indicator which changes its colour when exposed to an acidic or basic solution. Blue litmus paper turns red in an acidic solution and red litmus paper turns blue in a basic solution. Since vinegar is acidic, it turns blue litmus paper to red.
