    Answer: the strongest base will be A) HX (aq)

    Explanation:

    The cationic part of the base is formed from the cation in the weak acidic salt solution, (say Na2CO3 = HY, and H = Na) i. e H+, whereas the anionic part of the base comes from the the weak base (say NH4OH = HX, and X = OH-)

    Then the strong base formed will be HX
