Correct option is (c) either weak acids or weak bases.

A useful indicator has a strong color that changes quickly near its pKa. These traits are desirable, so only a small amount of an indicator is needed. If a large amount of strong acid or base is used, the indicator will affect the final pH, lowering the accuracy of the experiment. The indicator should also have a pKa value near the pH of the titration end point.
