pH scale is not a linear scale like a centimetre or inch scale (in which two adjacent values have the same difference). It is a logarithmic scale in which two adjacent values increase or decrease by a factor of 10. As pH 7.5 and 5.5 differ by 2, the difference in H ion concentration between them would be 10 = 100.
So, the correct option is 'Increases 100 fold'.
