Solution

The correct option is C Sodium acetate
CH3COONa+H2OCH3COOH+NaOH
NaOHNa++OH
When Sodium Acetate or CH3COONa dissolves in water it will break and forms two types of ions, CH3COO reacts with H+ and forms (weak acid) Acetic Acid (CH3COOH), and Na+ reacts with OH, and forms NaOH, which is a strong base, and for this the solution becomes alkaline or basic in nature.
