pH is scale which measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It ranges from a level of 1 to 14. The pH level is expressed as the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydronium ions. To determine the concentration of the hydroxide ions, we use the relation that pH + pOH = 14 where pOH is equal to the negative logarithm of the concentration of the hydroxide ions. We do as follows:

pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - pH
pOH = 14 - 9
pOH = 5
5 = - log [OH-]
[OH-] = 10^-5 M

Therefore, the correct answer would be option C. The concentration of the hydroxide ions in a solution with pH 9 would be 1x10^-5 M.
