Solution

The correct option is C 1M
The molar mass of NaOH is 40 g/mol.
The number of moles of NaOH is equal to the ratio of its mass to molar mass.
The number of moles of NaOH =40g40g/mol=1mol
The molarity of NaOH solution is the ratio of number of moles of NaOH to total volume of solution in L.
M=1mol1L=1M
