(A) $(i)$ Solution $A$ with $pH = 0$ has the highest concentration of $H^{+}$ ions because $pH$ is inversely proportional to the concentration of $H^{+}$ ions $(pH = -\log[H^{+}])$.
$(ii)$ Solution $C$ with $pH = 5$ has the lowest concentration of $H^{+}$ ions because it has the highest $pH$ value among the given solutions.
