Solution

The correct option is C pink
Since NaOH is a base, it will become dark pink almost purple.

If you add the right amount of H2SO4, which is an acid, it will become light pink.

In this case, it is neutral. If you add too much acid, it becomes colorless, meaning its acidic.

Option C is correct.
