Detailed Solution

    The solution is most likely to be an acid that is Ethanoic acid.      Since the strip of pH paper turns orange-red, this indicates that the solution is most likely to be an acid. From the options given, only hydrochloric acid (HCl) and ethanoic acid (CH3COOH) are acids of which HCl is a very strong acid which gives red colour on the strip and is not possible and since CH3COOH is a weak acid it will give orange-red on the strip.
