Solution

The correct option is A

True


Substances which are bitter in taste and are slimy in touch are called bases. Alkalis are water-soluble bases. They are also bitter in taste and slimy in touch. Therefore everything that is an alkaline is a base. But everything that is a base needs not to be alkaline because not all bases are soluble in water.
