    The correct option is A.

    A basic solution has a high concentration of hydroxide ions more than any type of ion and that is why it is basic in nature. An acidic solution has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions and that is why it is acidic in nature. A neutral solution has equal amount of hydroxide and hydrogen ions. Solutions are usually classified as either basic or acidic based on their hydrogen ion concentration.
