Solution

The correct option is D The sodium salt of a weak acid
For a highest pH, we need to have pH greater than 7 which implies basic character.
This can be achieved either by a strong base or a salt of strong base and weak acid.
From the given options, sodium salt of weak acid will give basic character.
