Correct Option: A
The treatment: Flushed Sulfuric acid with a mild, soapy solution if the burns are not severe.
Note:Â Sulfuric acid feels hot when water is added to the acid, but it is better to flush the area and not leave the acid on the skin.
Warning: Don't try to neutralize the burn with acid or alkali. This could cause a chemical reaction that worsens the burn!
