Step-by-step explanation:

Molality is the ratio of the amount of substance of a solute (in moles – n) to the mass in kilograms of the solvent (m).

The symbol for molality is usually W and it can be calculated by the following formula:

W = n/m

here, we need to calculate n of NaCl using the formula:

n = m/MM

where MM of NaCl is 58.5 g/mol

n = 120/58.5

n = 2.05 moles

W = 2.05/30

W = 0.068 mol/Kg

Answer: A) 0.068
