Answer: The correct answer is Option b.

Explanation:

An acid is defined as the substance which looses hydrogen ions when dissolved in water.

A strong acid is defined as the substance which gets completely dissociated into its ions when dissolved in water. Their percentage ionization is equal to 100 %. For Example: [tex]HCl,H_2SO_4[/tex] etc.. They can be monoprotic, diprotic or tripotic.

A weak acid is defined as the substance which does not get completely dissociated into its ions when dissolved in water. Their percentage ionization is less than 100 %. For Example: [tex]CH_3COOH,H_3PO_4[/tex] etc.. They can be monoprotic, diprotic or tripotic.

Hence, the correct answer is Option b.
