Detailed Solution

Caustic soda solution should be added in excess so that change in colour is reversed.     When a blue litmus paper turns red it means that it was added to an acidic solution which changed the colour to red. Now, to reverse the colour a base needs to be added such that the red colour will now be changed to a blue colour. Out of the options given, only caustic soda (NaOH) is a base and can be used to reverse the colour.
