Virtual Environment and Base Environment are Active at the Same Time

I'm using Ubuntu Linux. I started the terminal and created a virtual environment as follows: python3 -m venv test. Then when I activated the test virtual environment by typing source test/bin/activate, in the prompt base environment was also showed as active.

Why both base and virtual environment are active at the same time? How to solve this issue?

Prompt is like that:

(test) (base) tkarahan@tkarahan:~$
