Step 2: Evaluate the statement about bases
The statement claims bases are salts and earth metals that dissolve in water. This is incorrect. While some bases are formed from earth metals (e.g., alkali metal hydroxides), not all bases are. Additionally, salts and bases are distinct chemical categories. Many bases dissolve in water, but not all.
