Solution

The correct option is B Strong base
Grignard reagents are strong bases and strong nucleophiles, chemically it resembles carbanions i.e negatively charged carbon. Organic derivatives of magnesium commonly represented by the general formula $R M g X$ . $R$ is a hydrocarbon and $X$ is a halogen.
