Answer 1

Answer: (a) A mild base.

Explanation: We should never use water to wash the acid. It may cause burns as it can give heat as a result (high enthalpy). To nullify the effect of the base, we can use bases like diluted NaOH, etc. bases available in our home.

More: Using salt solution may also help unless it is basic in nature.
