Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is known that like dissolves like. So, water being a polar solvent is able to dissolve ionic compounds in it.

For example,
CaCl_(2) is an ionic compound as it's atoms contain a metal and a non-metal.

Therefore, the bond present present in it is an ionic bond. Hence, when it is dissolved in water then its reaction equation is as follows.


CaCl_(2)(s) \rightarrow Ca^(2+)(aq) + 2Cl^(-)(aq)

Thus, we can conclude that
CaCl_(2) is soluble.
