Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

More substances dissolve in water than in any other chemical. this is because of the polarity of its molecules. H²0 has a small positive electronic charge and the oxygen side has a small negative charge. the negative and positive charges help water dissociate ionic compounds into them.
