e. It occurs at a pH greater than 7.0 because a basic salt is formed.
We know that when we react an acid with a base, a salt forms. In this case, weak acid is reacting with a strong base to produce the salt to extent of ionization. The salt itself can ionize and reacts again with water to take up protons. Thus, ther are excess OH- ions in the solution causing the solution basic at equivalence point.
Let us consider the titration between NaOH (strong base) and CH3COOH (weak acid).
NaOH + CH3COOH CH3COO- Na+ + H2O
The titration produces a salt Sodium acetate, CH3COONa.
As the titration continues, some of the acetate ions can react again with water to convert into acetic acid leaving excess OH- ions in the solution.
CH3COO- + H2O CH3COOH + OH-
Thus, due to the presence of this excess hydroxide ions, we can say that there is a basic salt in the solution.

To learn about titration types and how to calculate pH at different points of titration. In an acid-base titration, a titrant (solution of a base or acid) is added slowly to an analyte (solution of an acid or base). The titration is often monitored using a pH meter. A plot of pH as a function of the volume of titrant added is called a pH titration curve. Prior to the titration, the pH is determined by the concentration of the...
