Correct Answer

(D) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(i) \(\mathrm{HCl} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{Cl}^{-}\) (Bronsted acid) (ii) \(\mathrm{ClO}_4^{-}+\mathrm{H}^{+} \longrightarrow \mathrm{HClO}_4\) (Bronsted base) (iii) \(\mathrm{O} \mathrm{H}+\mathrm{H}^{+} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\) (Bronsted base)…
