Answer: b.more acidic the solution

Explanation:

pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Acids are substances which gives $H^+$ ions when dissolved in water.

$HX\rightarrow H^++X^-$

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

$pH=log\frac {1}{H^+}$

Thus as pH and $H^+$ are inversely related, a solution having lower pH will have more amount of $H^+$ concentration , a lower amount of $OH^_$ concentration and will be more acidic.
