A Methyl orange
B Phenolphthalein
Correct Answer
C Starch
D Bromothymol blue
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Phenolphthalein is commonly used for strong acid-strong base titrations because its color change range (pH 8.2–10) falls within the steep part of the titration curve. Methyl orange is also used. Phenolphthalein is a typical answer.
