A) The water layer would turn a pink color indicating an alkaline pH.
  B) The caffeine would transform into the free base and become more soluble in the diethyl ether.
  C) The caffeine would transform into the free acid and transfer into the diethyl ether.
  D) The diethyl ether and water would mix into one layer.
