For the following reaction, define each of the species as acid, base, conjugate acid, and conjugate base.

A.	base + acid conjugate acid + conjugate base

Solution

Ans: Option B is correct :

H2SO4 transfers H+ to water. Due to its ability to transfer H+, it acts as an acid.

Water accepts H+ from acid. Thus it acts as base.

Conjugate base is derived from strong acid(or weak acid) which means HSO4- is conjugate base.

Similarly, conjugate acid is derived from weak base(or strong base) which means H3o+ is conjugate acid.
