Explanation: A red litmus paper turns blue when exposed to a basic (alkaline) solution.

  • Vinegar is acidic (pH < 7), so it will not turn red litmus blue; instead, it will keep it red.
  • Baking soda solution, on the other hand, is basic (alkaline) with a pH above 7. Therefore, it will turn red litmus paper blue.
  • Lemon juice is also acidic (pH < 7), so it will keep the litmus paper red.
  • Soft drinks are generally acidic (e.g., cola), and thus will not turn red litmus blue; they will also keep it red.

Thus, baking soda solution is the correct option because it is alkaline and will turn red litmus paper blue.
