B Correct answer
Explanation

Eq. wt. of Ca(OH)2 = 74/2 = 37
Number of gram eq. of Ca(OH)2 in 0.7 gram = 0.7/37  = 0.0189. According to law of equivalence, 0.0189 gm. eq. of Ca(OH)2 will neutralize 0.0189 gm Eq. of acid.     Since,  0.25 gm acid is present in 1000 ml solution.           1 gm acid is present in 1000/0.25 ml solution. 0.0189 gm acid = (1000 x 0.0189)/20.25 = 75.6 ml solution
