C. KOH. Plant ash for example palm husk buch and plantain peel are confirmed to rich sources of KOH not NaOH
Since local soap are partially soft and potassium hydroxide is responsible for soft soap while sodium hydroxide is responsible for hard soap,so it means ash contain potassium hydroxide which account for its partially softness
Who else noticed it right now My school's explanation is correct but they haven't changed the correct option from B to C.
These people are funny 
pls make corrections
why are we given the opportunity to comment if our suggestions are not even listened to
The lye gotten from leaching of ash actually contains Potassium Hydroxide not sodium hydroxide. That is option C.
