Answer : The correct option is A substance that increases
OH^- concentration when it is dissolved in water.

Explanation :

Arrhenius Definitions :

  • Arrhenius Acid : It increases the concentration of hydronium ion
    (H_3O^+) in an aqueous solution. In other words, a substance dissociates in water to form
    H^+ ion.
  • Arrhenius Base : It increases the concentration of hydroxide ion
    (OH^-) in an aqueous solution. In other words, a substance dissociates in water to form
    OH^- ion.
