Answer:

A. Substances that release protons when they dissolve in water are termed acids and result in a pH lower than 7

Explanation:

An acid when in water releases a proton(H+) while the base in water releases an hydroxide(OH- )ion. The hydroxide ion released by the base then accepts the Proton released by the acid.

An acidic substance is known to have a pH of 0-6.9 while basic substances have a pH of 7.1-14.0.

This makes option A correct.
