Answer #1

As NaOH is a base, it will react with the acetic acid to produce acetate salt.

That means concentration of acetic acid with decreases, while the concentration of acetate will increase by addition of small amount of NaOH.

OH- + CH​​​​​​3COOH -------> CH3COO- + H2​​​​​​O

Therefore, option C is correct.
