Solution

The correct option is B strong base
Strong bases are characterized by the fact that they dissociate completely in aqueous solution.

In this case, sodium hydroxide, NaOH, is classified as a strong base because it dissociates completely in aqueous solution to form sodium cations, $N a^{+}$ , and hydroxide anions, $O H^{-}$ .
