Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

pH is a measure of acidity of a substance. A typical pH scale ranges from 0 - 14. When a substance has a pH less than 7, it is said to be acidic while a substance having a pH greater than 7 is said to be basic. A substance that has the pH of 7 is said to be neutral.

The closer the pH of a substance is to 0, the more acidic it is and the closer the pH of a substance is to 14, the more basic it is.

When the pH of a substance is 4.0, it is clear from the above that the substance is an acid and one of the properties of an acid is that it turns blue litmus paper to red.
