Correct answer is A. By adding acid to water constant stirring

The process of dissolving an acid or a base in water is a highly exothermic one. The acid must always be added slowly to water with constant stirring. It water is added to concentrated acid, the heat generated may cause the mixture to splash out and cause burns.
