To identify which solution is a base based on pH values, we can use the scale of pH:
- A pH of 7 is neutral (like pure water).
- A pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution.
- A pH greater than 7 indicates a basic (alkaline) solution.
Given the following pH values:
- Solution A: pH 5 (acidic)
- Solution B: pH 7 (neutral)
- Solution C: pH 7 (neutral)
- Solution D: pH 9 (basic)
The only solution that is identified as a base is Solution D with a pH of 9.
So, the answer is Solution D.
