Answer

b) There is no fixed minimum

Explanation

1. Understand pH Scale
The pH scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution, ranging from 0 to 14.
2. Determine Minimum pH
Theoretically, pH can be less than 0 for very strong acids, as pH is calculated by **$pH = -\log[H^+]$**. There is no fixed minimum.
