Answer

a

Step-by-step explanation:

While the Arrhenius definition of a base agrees with this statement, the Bronsted-Lowry and Lewis definitions don't. Under Bronsted-Lowry, a base is anything that can accept a proton (ex// NH3). Under lewis, it is anything that can donate an electron (ex// Cl-).

Bases are usually bitter and turn red litmus paper blue, and are slippery.
