The correct answer is option (a) a) [AH ] > [A] ~ [H3O ] > [OH-]

Explanation:

Since AH is a weak acid, it will dissociate in lesser amount. So, less amount of A and H3O will be formed. The highest amount formed will be AH> A> [OH-]

As it is salt of weak acid and strong base. So pH is greater than 7 and [OH-]<[H+]
