Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A litmus paper is defined as a paper which helps in the detection of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

When a solution is basic in nature then it is able to change the color of a red litmus paper into blue.

Whereas when a solution is acidic in nature then it is able to change the color of a blue litmus paper into red.

Therefore, we can conclude that when a strip of litmus paper is put into a solution and turns blue then it means the solution is basic.
