The compound that would be considered a base among the options provided is **NaOH** (sodium hydroxide). Sodium hydroxide is a strong base because it dissociates in water to produce hydroxide ions (OH⁻), which are characteristic of basic substances.
- HNO₃ (nitric acid) is an acid.
- CH₃OH (methanol) is an alcohol, not a base.
- NaCl (sodium chloride) is a neutral salt.
Therefore, NaOH is the only base in the list.
