Correct answer
D. 10000
Step-by-step solution
\begin{aligned}
& \text{ } \mathrm{pH}=-\log \left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right] \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{pH}=2 \Rightarrow\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right] \text{for } \mathrm{pH}=2 \text{ is } 10^{-2} \\
& \mathrm{pH}=6 \Rightarrow\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right] \text{for } \mathrm{pH}=6 \text{ is } 10^{-6} \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \frac{10^{-2}}{10^{-6}}=10^4=10,000 \\
&
