Water molecules are composed of two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom. In liquid water, the molecule can dissociate into positive hydrogen ions (H+) and negative hydroxide ions (OH-). The correct answer in this case is (a), since acids form hydrogen ions, while bases form hydroxide ions. The balance of these ions determines the pH of a liquid. 

Answer:

Acids form hydrogen ions while bases form hydroxide ions
