The correct answer is:

neutrality

on the pH scale 7 is neutral above 7 is basic and below 7 is acidic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pH is an example of how acidic/basic water is. The scale goes from 0 - 14, with 7 being neutral, pH of less than 7 designates acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 intimates a base. pH is really a pattern of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the water.pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water is.

It is neutral because, at this pH, the molar concentrations of Hydroxide and Hydronium are same, therefore the substance is not a base nor an acid.
