Which statement correctly compares the pH of water to that of other substances

A. The pH of water increases as its temperature increases, while other substances have a stable pH.

B. The pH of water is neutral; it is higher than the pH of acids and lower than the pH of bases.

C. Water contains more hydrogen ions than most other substances, giving it a higher pH.

D. Water is neutral and has a pH of 0; acids have a pH greater than 0 and bases have a pH less than 0.

Definitely B.

Pure Water is always neutral and has a pH equal to 7. Acids are always LOWER than 7, and Bases are always Higher than 7
So... In B it says that
Water is neutral --True
It has higher pH than Acids --True
It has lower pH than bases --True

Whereas in D...
Water is neutral -- True
Acids have greater pH than 0 -- True
Bases have a pH less than 0 --FALSE!
Water has a pH of 0 -- FALSE!


Definitely B
Hope this helps.

B. The pH is higher in water than in acids numerically.

However,

D, because a lower number of pH is a stronger acid (higher pH value in terms of hydrogen cation concentration.) For example, water is pH 7, whereas a strong acid is pH 1. pH 1 is far stronger and greater value than pH 7.
