Household bleach has a pH between 12 and 13. From this information, which of the following BEST describes the bleach solution?

A. The solution is acidic, meaning it has more hydrogen (H+) ions than hydroxide (OH–) ions.
B. The solution is basic, meaning it has fewer hydrogen (H+) ions than hydroxide (OH–) ions.
C. The solution is neutral, meaning it has an equal number of hydrogen (H+) ions and hydroxide (OH–) ions.
D. The solution is a buffer that reacts with solutions containing high concentrations of hydrogen (H+) ions.
