Answer: C. The molarity of hydronium is lower than the molarity of hydroxide.

Explanation: A basic solution is one which has pH above 7 and an acidic solution is one which has pH below 7.

A basic solution has more number of
OH^- ions as compared to
H^+ ions and an acidic solution has lesser number of
OH^- ions as compared to
H^+ ions .

A neutral solution has equal number of
OH^- ions as compared to
H^+ ions.
