B
Hydrochloric acid; $\mathrm{N_2H_5Cl}$, using the first protonation specified in the question.
Prepare a $0.010$ mol/L solution at $25^\circ\mathrm C$ and measure with a pH meter. A pH near $2.00$ indicates essentially complete ionization, supporting a strong acid.
$\mathrm{NaHCO_3\to Na^++HCO_3^-}$
$\mathrm{C_6H_5SO_3H+NaOH\to C_6H_5SO_3Na+H_2O}$
B, D
Higher pH promotes arsenic-acid deprotonation and increases negative charge on both arsenate species and the adsorbent. Stronger electrostatic repulsion reduces adsorption.
