not at all,....
weak base started at pH of 10, equiv. point was at abt 4.5, indicating a strong acid had been added, and the pH ends up below 2, indicative of a strong acidd...

How can it be a weak base if pH is 10???

bcoz strong base is pH14, and nutral is pH7, thus, 10 is closer to 7 than 14, and it is a weak base - it ionises to a small extent in solution...
and no, it was option C i think..

I got option C but I just thought it was a bit ambiguous with weak base with a pH of 11. anywho no harm done. except now i think that you are right that 4 was 5/7
