    B ... the higher the pH, the more basic ... this rules out the solution being acid and an alkali is defined as a soluble base, as you're testing a solution we know it is a soluble base.

    PH 1 - 6 = Acids

    pH 7 = Neutral

    pH 8 - 14 = Bases

    An alkaline is a base that is very soluble in water.

    Since we know the solution has a ph of 14, it cannot be A, since A is an acid. It can however be B or C. I'd say that the most logical answer would be B, because no testing has been done for other alkaline properties.
