Your answer would be B. It forms hydrogen ions (H+)

Answer: It forms hydroxide ions [tex](OH^-)[/tex]

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius concept, a base is defined as a substance which donates hydroxide ions [tex](OH^-)[/tex] when dissolved in water and an acid is defined as a substance which donates hydrogen ions [tex](H^+)[/tex] in water.

The dissociation of an acid is represented as:

[tex]HX\rightarrow H^++X^_[/tex]

The dissociation of a base is represented as:

[tex]BOH\rightarrow B^++OH^_[/tex]
