D

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the Arrhenius model of acids and bases: According to this model, an acid is a substance that increases the concentration of hydrogen ions (H\_3O\^+) in aqueous solution.
Recognize that ionization refers to the process where an acid dissociates into ions in water. If an acid ionizes completely, it means it fully dissociates to release H\_3O\^+ ions.
Recall the classification of acids based on their ionization: acids that ionize completely in water are called strong acids, while those that ionize partially are weak acids.
Match the description 'ionizes completely in water' with the correct classification: this corresponds to a strong acid in the Arrhenius model.
Therefore, the acid described in the problem is classified as a strong acid according to the Arrhenius definition.
