Help me solve the problem which answer is right?

A group of students are trying to determine whether a base is an Arrhenius base or a Bronsted-Lowry base.
Student
1
Does the base react with an acid to produce water
and a salt?
2
Does the base neutralize an acid?
3
What is the pOH of the base?
4
Does the base accept a proton from the acid?
Which student's question would be the MOST useful to determine this? (AKS 5g)

Which student's question would be the MOST useful to determine this? (AKS 5g)
A. Student 1, because if the base reacts with an acid and produces water and a salt it is a Bronsted-Lowry base.
B. Student 4, because a Bronsted-Lowry base always accepts a proton from an acid to form a conjugate acid.
c. Student 3, because the pOH can be used to calculate the pH of the base.
D. Student 2, because only Bronsted-Lowry bases will neutralize acids.
