Options

  1. AAcids produce H+ ions, and bases produce OH- ions.
  2. BAcids produce OH-ions, and bases produce H+ions.
  3. CBoth acids and bases produce H+ ions.
  4. DBoth acids and bases produce OH- ions.

Correct answer

A. Acids produce H+ ions, and bases produce OH- ions.

Step-by-step solution

According to Arrhenius theory, acids produce H+ ions, and bases produce OH- ions in water.
