Solution

The correct option is B $H_{2} S O_{4}$
Sulfuric acid is one of the most important industrial chemicals. It serves as the electrolyte in the lead-acid storage battery commonly used in motor vehicles (acid for this use, containing about 33% $H_{2} S O_{4}$ and with specific gravity about 1.25, is often called battery acid).
