Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The conjugate acid of a base is formed by adding a hydrogen ion to the base. Therefore, the conjugate acid of OH⁻ is H₂O, and adding another hydrogen ion would result in H₃O⁺. Option B is the only one that represents H₃O⁺. Option A is an arbitrary code, option C is the base itself, and option D is incorrect as it is the same as the original base. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
