C.) A base

D.) A substance that donates electron pairs

Verified Answer :

BAn acid
Acids increase the number of hydrogen ions, which are symbolized as H+ in chemical formulas, in a solution.

Stronger acids more readily donate their hydrogen ions, creating an
unequal balance of ions. One example is hydrochloric acid, written as
HCl, which completely dissociates in solution into hydrogen and chloride
ions.
