In the given question dissociated solution describes the property of the strong base.

What are bases?

Bases are substances which gives hydroxide ion into the solution.

Dissociation reaction of caustic soda will be represented as:

KOH → K⁺ + OH⁻

From the above dissociation we conclude that potassium hydroxide is fully dissociates into their ions means it is a strong base and will make the solution caustic.

  • Weak acid & strong acid is wrong because acids gives H⁺ ion not OH⁻.
  • Weak base is also wrong as weak bases show partial dissociation only.

Hence potassium hydroxide is a strong base.
