Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Saturated solution of \(\mathrm{NaOH}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(a) For, saturated solution of \(\mathrm{NaOH}, \mathrm{pH} \sim 15\) (b) \(1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{HCl} \quad \mathrm{pH} \simeq 0\) (c) Human saliva \(\quad \mathrm{pH}=6.4\) (d) Lemon juice \(\quad \mathrm{pH} \simeq 2.2\) Hence, option (a) is correct.
