Answer:

c.I ,II & IV are correct

Explanation:

Phenolphthalein is an indicator. An indicator is an organic dye whose solution changes colour as the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution changes.

Hence a typical indicator exhibits different colours at different pH ranges. The colour of an indicator in an acid, a base and at end point always differs.

Phenolphthalein  is a colourless solution which has a pink colour in an alkaline medium and colourless in an acidic medium.
