D. [H3O+] < [OH-]

Explanation:

A basic solution has pH > 7 so

pH = pOH - FALSE

This is neutral one.

Where [H3O+] = [OH-]

[H3O+] > [OH-] This occurs in the acidic solution, where the [H3O+], so the pH is so low.

[H3O+] < [OH-]

This is the basic solution, a pH >7, where the [OH-] is higher than [H3O+]
