Since the pH of water is 7 (Neutral) and the pH of sulfuric acid is 4, it's sorta obvious the pH will not decrease. So you can eliminate options C and D. Now your left with a pH of 8 or a pH of 6.. the water will not turn the solution akaline , it will just turn it into a weaker acidic solution , so your answer is B. pH6.

The PH range changes within the acidity,water can't move HCL from ph 2 to 11 for example.

Galvanizing occurs to steel ob'ects,
Steel mainly is iron/carbon so a galvanized roof contains iron/carbon and very little coat of zinc..

Galvanizing is : applying a layer of zinc on the stell structure either by electroplating or dipping in molten zinc
