Solution

The correct option is B Sodium acetate and sodium propionate
An acidic buffer contains equimolar quantities of weak acid and its salt with strong base. A basic buffer contains equinolar quantities of weak base and its salt with strong acid. Sodium acetate is a salt with strong base but sodium propionate is not weak acid, it is also a salt.
