Answer:

d) BaF2

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound which is more soluble in an acidic solution than in a neutral solution is shown below:-

First we will compare acidic with Neutral


acidic \rightarrow H+ ions

So,


PbBr2 \rightarrow Pb+2 + 2Br-


BaF2 \rightarrow Ba+2 + 2F-


AgI \rightarrow Ag+ + I-


CuCl \rightarrow Cu+ + Cl-

Now, when we add H+ ions, so it will be


BaF2 \rightarrow Ba+2 + 2F-


F- + H2O <-> HF + OH-

Then it will reduces F-, as BaF2 begin to form more aqueous ions, so, it will rises the solubility
