    The solution on this question must be a buffer solution.

    Buffer solution has a molecule that able to withstand pH changes when a small amount of strong acid is added. In the solution, there is conjugate base that could react with H+. When a strong acid is added, the reaction shifts to the left so the conjugate eats up a bit H + resulting in a lower amount of expected pH changes.
