Which of these statements is correct with respect to pH?

A) The pH of a solution remains constant with increasing basicity.
B) The pH of a solution decreases gradually with increasing basicity.
C) The pH of a solution increases gradually with increasing basicity.

C is the correct answer.
The smaller the pH value the more acidic, the larger the pH value the more basic.
Mathematically: pH = -log( concentration of H3O+) increasing basicity decreases the concentration of H3O+ therefore increasing pH

The correct answer is C, which states that the pH of a solution increases gradually with increasing basicity. As basicity increases, the concentration of hydrogen ions decreases, leading to a higher pH value. This reflects the fundamental understanding of how the pH scale works in relation to acidity and basicity.
