Answer 1

The correct answer is: a. are all strong bases

Step-by-step explanation:

Alkaline earth metals are the chemical elements that belong to the group 2 of the periodic table. The members or elements of this group are all highly reactive metals.

Except beryllium (Be), all the alkaline earth metals react with water to give metal hydroxides. These hydroxides of the alkaline earth metals are highly soluble and very strong bases.
