A
KOH, Ca(OH)2, and H2CO3
B
KOH, Ca(OH)2, and LiOH
C
LiOH, Ca(OH)2, and C2H4(OH)2
D
NaOH, Ca(OH)2, and CH3COOH
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An Arrhenius base is a compound that increases the OH− ion concentration in aqueous solution. Ionic compounds of the OH− ion are classic Arrhenius bases.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Calcium Hydroxide fulfills both definitions of basicity. It is both an Arrhenius base and Bronsted-Lowry base. Writing the chemical equation for the dissolution of calcium hydroxide, we find that it produces hydroxide ions in solution.
