Hi, most people confuse these type of questions. To reach the answer you need to know what a basic salt really is. Basic salts are salts that are the product of the neutralization (adding water and neutralizing) of a strong base and a weak acid. Rather than being neutral, alkali salts are bases, you can guess that from their name too. Bases are compounds with OH- ions. So the answer to this question is CH3COOK.
