Answer:

The answer is: C. a substance that is alkaline.

Step-by-step explanation:

The chemical bases are also known as alkalis, because when the hydroxyl groups dissociate and release, the pH of the solutions increases, that is, the solution becomes alkaline.

The answer is: C. a substance that is alkaline.
