Answer:

CH3COO-

Step-by-step explanation:

The conjugate base if a weak acid is a strong base, and the conjugate base of a strong acid is a weak base.

Acetic acid is a weak acid, so its conjugate base (CH3COO-) is a strong base.

Nitric, sulfuric, and hydrochloric acids are all strong acid. Their conjugate bases (NO3-, SO4^2-, and Cl- are all weak bases.
