Explanation

The key fact from the textbook introduction: acids change blue litmus to red; bases change red litmus to blue. This is a direct, one-line recall question. Always remember the direction of colour change — blue→red = acid, red→blue = base. "Amphoteric" is not a concept tested at this level in this context.
