A solution containing HCl would likely have

Answer
A
a high pH and a low pOH.
B
a low pH and a high pOH.
C
a high pH and a high pOH.
D
a low pH and a low pOH.

Explanation

HCl is an acid, so a solution containing it has a pH below 7. Since pH + pOH = 14, a low pH corresponds to a high pOH. Therefore, the solution would have a low pH and a high pOH.
