C They both remain intact when placed in water, with no dissociation taking place. D They both dissociate completely, with reverse reactions constantly taking place.

B or C (a weak acid only partially disassociates so it's not A my best guess would be B)

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Strong acids are the acids which completely dissociate in a solution of water. Similarly like strong acids, strong bases also dissociate completely into a solution of water.

For example,
HCl \rightarrow H^(+) + Cl^(-)


NaOH \rightarrow Na^(+) + OH^(-)

Also, there is little or no reverse reactions when strong acids and bases completely dissociate into ions.

Thus, we can conclude that strong acids and strong bases have in common that they both dissociate completely, with little or no reverse reactions.
