Solution

The correct option is B $O H^{-}$
Some of the general properties of bases are as follows:
They are bitter to taste, turns red litmus paper blue and releases hydroxide ion in the solution medium.
The hydroxide ion that is released is responsible for the basic character of bases.
The formula for hydroxyl ion is $(O H^{-})$ .
Hence, the correct answer is option (B).
