Answer: The correct answer is Option d.

Explanation:

Litmus paper is defined as the indicator which is used to determine the nature of the solution, whether it is acidic or basic.

There are 2 types of litmus paper:

  • Red litmus paper: This paper will turn blue if it is dipped in basic solution and it remains as such if it is dipped in acidic solution.
  • Blue litmus paper: This paper will turn red if it is dipped in acidic solution and remains as such if it is dipped in basic solution.

Hence, the correct answer is Option d.
