MEDIUM

You are provided with aqueous solutions of three salts A, B and C23 drops of blue litmus solution, red litmus solution and phenolphthalein were added to each of these solutions in separate experiments. The change in colour of different indicators were recorded in the following table:

Sample  With blue litmus solution   With red litmus solution    With phenolphthelein
     A            No change            Turns blue          Turns pink
     B            No change            No change          No change
    C            Turns red            No change          No change

On the basis of above observations, identify A, B and C from the following options:
