Based on the substances listed, the most basic one is hand soap.

  • Soda pop is typically slightly acidic due to the presence of carbonic acid and phosphoric acid.
  • Spit is slightly acidic to neutral depending on various factors, but generally, it has a pH around 6-7.
  • Battery acid (sulfuric acid) is highly acidic.

Hand soap usually has a higher pH, making it more basic compared to the other substances mentioned.
