Answer:
It is a base.
Explanation:
Magnesium Hydroxide is a base isn't because of Magnesium, it is because of the hydroxide ions.
The definition of Acid is A chemical compound that releases positively charged hydrogen ions when dissolved in water
While the definition of Base A chemical compound that reacts with acid to produce salt and water only.
And the definition of Alkali is a chemical compound that releases negatively charged hydroxide ions when dissolved in water
In this case, the most ideal answer would be alkali but there is no " alkali " choice, so base is the second best answer.
