Answer:

The correct answer is a. donates hydrogen ions to solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many definitions of what acid is, but the most common one is that an acid donates hydrogen (+) when it dissociates in solutions. Adding hydrogen or (+) to a solution will lower the pH value and then it will make the solution more acidic in the pH range.
