Answer:

base drugs

Step-by-step explanation:

The pH scale is a scale graduated from 0-14. It is used as an indicator of the degree of acidity or alkalinity. A pH of 0-6.9 indicates acidity. A pH of 7 indicates that the solution is neutral. A solution of pH above 7 indicates that the substance is basic.

It is thus a correct statement to say that any substance that dissolves in solution to produce a solution of pH greater than 7.0 is a basic substance.

If we look at the options closely, it is only a basic drug that will dissolve in water to yield a basic solution of pH greater than 7.0 hence the answer.
