The answer is H₃C₆H₅O₇ (OPTION D).

In essence, the question is asking which of the options is an acid or a neutral compound; thus not a base.  A base is a compound that accepts free hydrogen ions while in aqueous solution and as such they usually lack hydrogen ions that can be released in solution.  If you ionize all the compounds/molecules above, the only on that has free hydrogen ions is OPTION D (which is an organic acid and not a base).
