Final answer:

A base is a substance that releases hydroxyl ions in solution, combining with hydrogen ions to reduce acidity.


Explanation:

A base is a substance that releases hydroxyl ions (OH-) when in solution. The hydroxyl ions combine with hydrogen ions (H+) to form water, thereby reducing the solution's acidity. Examples of bases include NaOH, KOH, and Ca(OH)2.
