A buffer solution is prepared by dissolving 1.0 mole of the weak acid CH₃COOH (pK_a = 4.74) and 1.0 mole of its conjugate base (CH₃COO) in 1.0 L of water. Suppose 0.1 moles of NaOH is added to this buffer solution. Which of the following statement(s) is/are true of this buffer solution FOLLOWING the addition of NaOH?

I. The resulting pH of the solution will be higher than 4.74

II. The resulting pH of the solution will be lower than 4.74

III. The 0.1 mole addition will be neutralized by the CH₃COOH component of the buffer

IV. The 0.1 mole addition will be neutralized by the CH₃COO component of the buffer

A.	II and IV
	B.	IV only
	C.	I and IV
	D.	I and III
	E.	III only
