Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Your answer is option B.

Reason:

Base are the substance that produces hydroxyl ion dissolving in water.

Option A(true): The pH value of base is always greater than 7.

Option B (false): A base is considered as alkaline if it dissolves in water only otherwise they are not alkaline.

Option C (true): A base always has few hydrogen ions in it.

Option D(true) : A base has also few hydroxide ions.

Hope it helps!
