Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

pH is the negative logarithm of concentration of hydrogen ion.

That is, pH = -log
[H^+]

Hence, pH of solution with
[H^+] = 1 * 10^(-11) is calculated as follows.

pH = -log
[H^+]

= -log
(1 * 10^-{11})

= 11

Therefore, pH of solution with
[H^+] = 1 * 10^(-11) is 11.
