ANSWER:

A) acidic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lower the rate of the pH of a solvent, the stronger acidic the solution is. The higher the amount of the pH of the solution, the stronger the basic (or alkaline) the solution is. If the solution has a pH of 7 it is stated to be neutral, that is, the solution is neither an acid nor a base. The solution with a pH of 5 is acidic in nature
