The answer for this question is B) Ionization and Dissociation because Dissociation happens, charged particles form (ions), and since the ions didn't exist before the substance was dissolved, this process is called IONIZATION. It is the process that involves the formation of ions, a conversion of a substance into ions.

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ionization is defined as the production of ions in a solvent or solution. Whereas dissociation also means breaking of a chemical compound into ions or molecules when it is dissolved in water or polar solvent.

For example, when NaCl is dissolved in water then it will dissociate into sodium ions (
Na^(+)) and chlorine (
Cl^(-)) ions.

Hence, we can conclude that ionization and dissociation processes produce solute ions in a solution.
