Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When an acid and a base react quantitatively with each other to neutralize a chemical reaction is known as a neutralization reaction.

A solution which is able to neutralize an acid is basic in nature and it is known as a base.

A solution which is able to neutralize a base will be acidic in nature and it is known as an acid.

Hence, we can conclude that solution A is a base and solution B is an acid.
