You have 100.0 mL of a solution of hydrochloric acid that has a pH of 3.00. You add 100.0 mL of water to this solution. What is the resulting pH of the solution?

A) The pH = 5.00 (the average of 3.00 and 7.00).
B) The pH = 10.00 (3.00 + 7.00 = 10.00).
C) The pH = 3.00 (water is neutral and does not affect the pH).
D) None of the above is correct, but the pH must be greater than 3.00.
E) None of the above is correct, but the pH must be less than 3.00.
