Answer:
d. the conjugate base of the weak acid
Explanation:
The strong base (BOH) is completely dissociated in water:
BOH → B⁺ + OH⁻
The resulting conjugate acid (OH⁻) is a weak acid, so it remains in solution as OH⁻ ions.
By other hand, the weak acid (HA) is only slightly dissociated in water:
HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻
The resulting conjugate base (A⁻) is a weak base. Thus, it reacts with H⁺ ions from water to form HA, increasing the concentration of OH⁻ ions in the solution.
Therefore, the resulting solution will have a pH > 7 (basic).
