Answer:

C. The salt is dissolved by the water

Explanation:

When ionic compounds dissolve in water, the individual ions separate and get surrounded by water molecules—a process called solvation. Because the salt ions are charged, they dissolve much better in a polar solvent, which is also slightly more charged than a nonpolar solvent
