Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Methyl orange is a pH indicator that changes color depending on the acidity or basicity of the solution.
- In acidic solutions (like HCl), methyl orange turns red-pink.
- In basic solutions, it appears yellow.
Since HCl is a strong acid, methyl orange shows a pink/red color in its presence.
The correct answer is option (A): pink
