Hi thank you for asking the question
Litmus paper is the odd man out
Litmus paper is solid paper and is dipped in a solution and on the basis of color change the pH of the solution is determined
Phenolphthalein methy orange and universal indicator are all liquid in nature and are used to check the completion of titration reaction between acid and base
Hope this answer helps you 
If it did kindly mark the answer as brainliest 
Thank you

Hey there!

Given Options ->
1.litmus
2.methyl orange
3.phenolphthalein
4.universal indicator

We see that all share a common propery that they are indicators. But the Odd one is Universal indicator.

Litmus paper turns blue or red to show that they are basic or acidic . Methyl orange also turns yellow or red to indicate acidic nature and basic nature . Phenopthalein turns pink, or colourless to indicate acidic and basic natures.

So, It is evident that Litmus, Methyl orange, Phenopthalein share a common property that they can change colors to indicate the nature of the substance either basic or acidic or neutral.

But Universal indicator can turn to different colors at different ranges of PH which makes it a go to indicator for all things.

Hence, Odd one out is Universal indicator.
