A. It is Basic

for example,

NaOH → Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)
Ba(OH)₂ → Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)
Ca(OH)₂ → Ca²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)

pH>7

A student had a sample of pure water, and added an unknown substance to it. The newly formed solution will be basic.

A solution with a pH range of 7 to 14 with a larger concentration of hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions, will be considered as basic solution.

Any mixture of one or even more solutes that have been dissolved or suspended is referred to as a solution.

Therefore, a student had a sample of pure water, and added an unknown substance to it. The newly formed solution will be basic.
