Answer:

B. a strongly basic solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Kb is base dissociation constant, which indicates how completely a base dissociates into its component ions in water. The greater the Kb value, the greater the alkalinity of the solution and vice versa.

Therefore, a solution with a Kb value much greater than 1, indicates a strongly basic solution, while a solution with a Kb value less than 1, indicates a weakly basic solution.
