It’s B, it’s never decreasing and stays constant.

The reaction between HNO3 and Ba(OH)2 is given by the equation below;
2HNO3 + Ba(OH)2 = Ba(NO3)2 + 2H2O
Moles of Barium hydroxide used;
= 0.200 × 0.039 l
= 0.0078 Moles
The mole ratio of HNO3 and Ba(OH)2 is 2: 1
Therefore; moles of nitric acid used will be;
= 0.0078 ×2 = 0.0156 moles
But; 0.0156 moles are equal to a volume of 0.10
The concentration of Nitric acid will be;
= (0.0156 × 1)/0.1
= 0.156 M
