The correct answer is:
Base; Weak Acid; Strong End point; Yellow to pinkish red
Methyl orange is weak organic base. It is used in the titration of strong acid vs weak base.
In basic medium, equilibrium lies in backward direction so it shows yellow colour.
In acidic medium, equilibrium shifts in forward direction so colour changes from yellow to red.
