Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A Bases are sweet in taste.
B Bases change blue litmus to red.

Bases taste bitter. They are soapy in touch and feel slippery. They turn red litmus to blue. They do not have any affect on the blue litmus paper. Soap and shampoo are few examples of bases found at home.
