C

Explanation:

Hydronium (H₃O+) is the same as H + (aq) because of the same net charge. The acidic property of a solvent or solution is governed the amount of H + ion in it. The higher the H + ions the lower the pH. In pure water H₃O + and OH - are in equal amount. More of OH - ions turn the solution basic.
