The correct answer is option B - < 7.
Meteors and meteoroids contain extraterrestrial nickel and iron, which can be classified as iron, stone, and stony-iron.
When the meteors fall in the water, most of the composition gets dissolved in the water bodies. This increases the iron content in the water.
Ferrous iron has a pH of 5.8 - 6.7. So, with an increase in the iron content in the water body, the pH also goes down from 7 to the pH of the iron content.

Answer is - d. no change in pH of water due to the meteorite shower
Meteorites contain nickel and iron. At high temperature nickel and iron form oxides. Oxides of nickel and iron are insoluble in water having a pH value around 7.
