B
A solution with a pH greater than 7 is considered acidic.

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the pH scale: The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 and is used to measure the acidity or basicity of a solution.
Identify the neutral point: A pH of 7 is considered neutral, which means the solution is neither acidic nor basic.
Determine acidic conditions: A solution with a pH less than 7 is considered acidic. This means it has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺).
Determine basic conditions: A solution with a pH greater than 7 is considered basic or alkaline, indicating a lower concentration of hydrogen ions and a higher concentration of hydroxide ions (OH⁻).
Evaluate the statements: Based on the pH scale, the correct statement is that a solution with a pH less than 7 is considered acidic.
