What is a property of a base?

What is a property of a base?
A. bitter taste
B. watery feel
C. unreactive
D. nonelectrolyte


1) A, Bases definitely have a bitter taste (not that I have tasted them before lol) while acids have a sour taste (like Coca-cola). I'm not sure why they taste the way they do but for sure this answer is not B,C or D because bases are definitely electrolytes (they dissolve in water) and they are not unreactive. Watery feel is quite a funny answer because I highly recommend you to not ever touch a base (they can burn you just as bad as an acid can if it has a really high pH or low pOH).
