To identify which solution is a base, we look at the pH scale. A pH of 7 is neutral, pH values less than 7 are acidic, and pH values greater than 7 are considered basic (or alkaline).
Given the pH values of the solutions:
- Solution A: pH 2 (acidic)
- Solution B: pH 5 (acidic)
- Solution C: pH 7 (neutral)
- Solution D: pH 9 (basic)
The solution that Lila should identify as being a base is Solution D with a pH of 9.
