Answer:

B) NaOH is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A radical is an ion that contains unpaired valence electron and they are also called free radicals.

Due to the presence of odd numbers of an electron, they are highly reactive.They can be a neutral, negative or positive charge.

The compound that contains a radical is called NaOH because they contain one unpaired electron.
