Solution

The correct option is E ${C H}_{3} O H$
The hydrolysis (reaction with water) of a salt can produce a solution which is acidic, basic or neutral depending upon how the individual anions and cations hydrolyze.
The anions and cations of strong acids and strong bases NO NOT hydrolyze. This means that only the anions and cations of weak acids and bases affect the pH of the solution. $C H_{3} O H$ is a weak
