Best answer

The correct option is (D) Hydrochloric acid

Since, the aqueous solution turns red litmus solution blue. So, it is a basic compound. An acid solution (HCI) would reverse the change. That is HCI would turn blue litmus solution to red. Other options baking powder, lime and ammonium hydroxide solution are basic compounds. So, the blue litmus solution would not change the colour by adding these compounds.
