Detailed Solution

Sodium hydroxide turns phenolphthalein solution pink.
Phenolphthalein is itself a weak acid. In an alkaline solution, phenolphthalein gives pink colour in a basic solution because it acts as an indicator. When a few drops of phenolphthalein indicator is added to sodium hydroxide, the solution changes its colour to pink. It reacts with the hydroxide ion of a base. This indicates that sodium hydroxide is a base.
