Solution

The correct option is A conjugate base
An acidbase reaction is the removal of a hydrogen ion from the acid and its addition to the base. The removal of a hydrogen ion from an acid produces its conjugate base, which is the acid with a hydrogen ion removed. The reaction of a proton by a base produces its conjugate acid, which is the base with a hydrogen ion added.
