Solution

The correct option is D Conjugate base.
Conjugate base is a substance formed when an acid loses a hydrogen ion. It is considered a base because it can gain a hydrogen ion to reform the acid.
The conjugate base of a weak acid is a strong base, and the conjugate base of a strong acid is a weak base. Same is true for conjugate acid of a base.
