Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
According to Bronsted-Lowry definition, acid are the species that are able to give hydrogen or [tex]H^{+}[/tex] ions when dissolved in a solution.
For example, [tex]HCl \rightarrow H^{+} + Cl^{-}[/tex]
Whereas bases are the species that are ale to give hydroxide or [tex]OH^{-}[/tex] ions when dissolved in a solution.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, a substance that produces hydrogen ions in a water solution best describes an acid.
