Option (a) is the opposite of the truth — a base that ionises completely would be a STRONG base (like ), not weak. Options (b) and (c) — vapour pressure and density — are physical properties unrelated to the chemical definition of base strength; they do not determine or explain weak-base behaviour. The correct chemical criterion is the e …
