anyone know??? HELPPPPP

Answer 1

c. Weak acid

Step-by-step explanation:

• A substance that gives off hydrogen ions (H⁺) when dissolved in water is an acid.

• An acid that ionizes only partially when dissolved in water is a weak acid.

Thus the correct answer is option c. Weak acid.

A strong acid would ionize completely, while a base would give off hydroxide ions (OH⁻).
