We have been given a question and we have been given options and we have to choose the correct option from the given options.
The question given to us is that with HCL or with Acetic acid will the strips of mg ribbon react vigorously. The answer is HCL.
That is because HCL is a strong acid whereas acetic acid is a weak acid.
