A student titrates a \(25.0\text{ mL}\) sample of a weak monoprotic acid, \(\text{HA(aq)}\), with \(0.100\text{ M NaOH(aq)}\). The \(\text{pH}\) of the mixture is measured after successive additions of titrant, as shown in the table below.

Volume of \(0.100\text{ M NaOH}\) added (mL)	\(\text{pH}\)
\(0.0\)	\(2.88\)
\(6.0\)	\(4.38\)
\(12.0\)	\(4.76\)
\(18.0\)	\(5.24\)
\(23.0\)	\(5.85\)
\(24.0\)	\(8.80\)
\(25.0\)	\(11.60\)
\(30.0\)	\(12.30\)

Based on the data in the table, which of the following identifies the volume of \(\text{NaOH(aq)}\) added at which the solution exhibits its maximum buffering capacity, along with the correct justification?
