The correct answer is option A. Lemon juice.

When a solution turns yellowish orange with the addition of universal indicator, it indicates that the solution is acidic. Lemon juice is known for its acidic nature due to the presence of citric acid. The acidic properties of lemon juice result in the yellowish orange color when it reacts with the universal indicator. Therefore, the solution in question is of lemon juice, corresponding to option A.
