Answer:

HCl

Step-by-step explanation:

The best solvent for NaF is a polar liquid. The only liquid having a significant dipole moment among the options is HCl due to the large electro negativity difference between hydrogen and chlorine.

The polar solvent can interact with the NaF via its dipoles such that the NaF dissolves due to ion-dipole interaction.
