0
It is both basic and acidic.

B. It is acidic

Explanation:

Acid refers to the presence of hydrogen ion. If the concentration of hydrogen increases, the solution will be more acidic or if the concentration of hydrogen ions decrease, the solution will be less acidic. There are two methods for finding pH of a solution i. e. pH paper and litmus paper. If the blue litmus turns red, the solution is acidic. The pH ranges from 1 to 6 denotes acid. pH of skin is 5.5 which comes in the above range so it is acidic in nature.
