ANSWER: [B]
Explanation: An alkali is a base that dissolves in water hence, all alkalies are bases but all bases are not alkalies. Sodium hydroxide is termed as alkali as it is a strong base as well as highly soluble in water. Ferric hydroxide is also a base, but it is not an alkali as it is not soluble in water.
