What does the pH scale range from?
A
0-10
B
2-15
C
1-5
D
0-14
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water is. The range goes from 0-14, with 7 being neutral. pHs of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 indicates a base.

Detailed explanation-2: -The pH scale measures how acidic an object is. Objects that are not very acidic are called basic. The scale has values ranging from zero (the most acidic) to 14 (the most basic).

Detailed explanation-3: -The pH value can be less than 0 for very concentrated strong acids, or greater than 14 for very concentrated strong bases. The pH scale is traceable to a set of standard solutions whose pH is established by international agreement.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ranges from 0 (acidic) to 14 (basic/alkaline), with 7 being neutral.

Detailed explanation-5: -The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends that the pH level of water sources should be at a pH measurement level between 6.5 to 8.5 on a scale that ranges from 0 to 14.
