Molarity = moles of solute(HCl)
------------------------------------
volume of the solution

= 1
------
5

= 0.2M.

Hence option B is correct.
Hope this helps!!

Answer:

B. 0.2 M

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by considering that the molarity is defined as:


M=(mol_(solute))/(V_(solution))

We replace the given 1 mole of HCl as the moles of the solute and 5 liters as the volume of the solution to obtain the required molarity as shown below:


M=(1mol)/(5L)=0.2M

Therefore, the answer is B. 0.2 M.

Best regards.
