Answer;

A base

Step-by-step explanation;

-A base is a substance that yields a cation plus the hydroxyl ion in water. A base is a substance that accepts hydrogen ions. When a base is dissolved in water, it dissociates to yield hydroxyl ions. Hydroxyl ion is a negatively charged molecule made up of one oxygen bonded to one hydrogen.
