Solution

The correct option is A True
A base is any substance that neutralises an acid. It may or may not be soluble in water. Those bases that are soluble in water are called alkalis. Thus, an alkali is a water soluble base.
For example, NaOH, KOH etc.

Therefore, all alkalis are bases but all bases are not alkalis.
