Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Nature of Each Option

To determine which option is a base, we need to understand the nature of each substance:

  • Citrus: Citrus fruits are acidic due to the presence of citric acid.
  • Soap: Soap is typically basic because it is made from the reaction of a fatty acid with a strong base like sodium hydroxide.
  • HCl: Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong acid.
Step 2: Determine Which Option is a Base

From the analysis above, soap is the only option that is a base. Citrus is acidic, and HCl is a strong acid.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{soap}}\)
