Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is Base.

According to the definition of base, it is a substance which releases hydroxide ions ( $OH^{-}$) when present in aqueous solution.

In other words, base increases the level of hydroxide ions in water.

A base is generally composed of a cation ( positively charged ion) and hydroxide ion  ( $OH^{-}$).

Thus, a substance which yields caton and hydroxide ion in water is Base.

$\text{For example- }NaOH\text{ yields }Na^{+}\text{ and }OH^{-} \text{ when dissolved in water.}$
