Answer: The correct answer is Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tomato is a citrus fruit which contains citric acid as a main chemical component.

The pH range for tomato juice is 4.1 to 4.6

This range lies in the range of acidic substances. Acids have a pH range of 0 to 6.9 and bases have a pH range of 7.1 to 14. Neutral solution has a pH of 7.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
