The acidic buffer solution can be prepared by mixing solutions of

A.Sodium acetate and acetic acid✓ Correct
B.Ammonium chloride and ammonium hydroxide
C.Sulphuric acid and sodium sulphate
D.Sodium chloride and sodium hydroxide.
Explanation

We know that an acidic buffer consists of  weak acid and  its  salt  with  a  strong  base.  Acetic  acid is  a  weak acid and sodium acetate its salt with strong base NaOH. Therefore,  it  is  an  acidic  buffer.  Whereas,  sulphuric acid is a strong acid. A basic buffer solution consists of a weak base (such as ammonium hydroxide) and its salt (such as ammonium chloride).
