When acids dissolve in water they release a proton - also called a H+ ion. So the answer is "a". The level of acidity is due to H+ and level of alkalinity due to (OH)-. This is displayed in the equation pH=-log[H+] i.e. concentration of H+ ion.
H plus ion concentration can be decreased by adding base to the solution. The reduction can also be done by accepting hydrogen ions.
acids
Yes and No. Acid release H plus into solution. and LOWER ph.
Acids: H+ and Bases: OH-
