In general the base peak in the mass spectrum is the highest ion peak or molecular ion peak which corresponds to the molecular weight of the given compound. In the compound given i.e. C6H8CH2OH, the molecular weight of the given molecule is 111. Therefore the base peak for this compound will either come at exactly m/z 111 or 112. The peak at m/z 112 will be due to [M+H]+ ion peak. In most of the compounds the base peak corresponds to [M+H]+ ion peak which is due to the presence of 0.1% of 13C in the given organic compound.
