Isabella Callahan · Answer 1

In the reaction of the type:

CuSO4 (aq) + 2NaOH (aq) - > Cu (OH) 2 (s) + Na2SO4

Herein, base (NaOH) reacts with water soluble metal salt (CuSO4) to form metal hydroxide.

This displays ability of a base to react with a soluble metal salt. Hence correct answer is option D.
