Answer:

Option (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

Bases react with acids. When an acid and a base react, they form water and a substance called salt. Bases turn red litmus blue. Bases can change the structure of a protein. This property of base is what makes bases feel slippery. Soap is a base that, when it gets wet, feels very slippery on your skin.
