ANSWER

Option

Step-by-step explanation

pH measures the acidity and alkalinity of a substance

The pH of the acid decreases from 1 to 7 on the pH scale while the pH of the base increases from 7 to 14 to increases

Recall, that a strong acid has pH value ranging from 1 to 3

Strong acid is defined as the type of acid which will produce hydrogen ions as the only positive ions when completely dissolved in water. This implies that strong acid has the largest number of hydrogen ions (H+). Therefore, a substance with pH value 1 will have the largest number of hydrogen ions

Hence, the correct answer is option A
