It depends on the specific acid
B
It decreases

Correct Option: D
When an acidic solution is diluted by adding more solvent (usually water), the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) decreases.
As a result, the pH of the solution increases, making it less acidic and potentially moving towards a more neutral pH.
Dilution of an acidic solution leads to an increase in pH.
