It is number 2.

Because an acid or base's strength refers to its degree of ionization. A strong acid will completely ionize in water while a weak acid will only partially ionize.

Therefore, whether a acid is strong or weak is based on their ionization in water. Thus, the same goes for the base.

A strong base is a base which is completely dissociated in an aqueous solution.
