Answer
(b): pH can be used as a factor for quantifying pollution in water bodies. pH of neutral or normal water is 7. Whenever some acid is added to the water, pH value gets lowered, i.e. it becomes less than 7. Lead battery manufacturing factories use sulphuric acid. The release of sulphuric acid from such factories in the nearby water bodies lowers pH value of water, making it acidic.
