<reasoning>

Analyze the properties of bases

Using the Properties of Bases knowledge point

Bases feel slippery or soapy to the touch and have a bitter taste. Therefore, the options "They feel soapy" and "They taste bitter" describe bases, not acids.

Apply acid-base definitions to aqueous solutions

Using the Brønsted-Lowry Theory knowledge point

Acids release hydrogen ions \((\text{H}^+)\) when dissolved in water. This process increases the concentration of hydronium or hydrogen ions in the aqueous solution.

Evaluate the remaining options

Using the Brønsted-Lowry Theory knowledge point

Since acids donate protons, dissolving an acid in an aqueous solution increases the concentration of \(\text{H}^+\) ions. This makes "They increase the concentration of \(\text{H}^+\) ions" the correct property.
