Among the options provided:

A. Apple juice is acidic in nature. Apple juice contains various organic acids, such as citric acid and malic acid, which give it a sour taste and make it acidic.

B. Soap solution is usually basic or alkaline in nature. Soaps are typically made from fats or oils and alkali, resulting in a product that is more on the basic side of the pH scale.

C. Slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) is basic or alkaline in nature. It is often used to neutralize acids and is not acidic itself.

D. Lime, in the context of the question, likely refers to quicklime (calcium oxide), which is not acidic but rather basic.

So, the acidic substance among the options is Apple juice (Option A).
