Solution

The correct option is D 1.25 mol dm $^{- 3}$
Molarity is a unit of the concentration measuring the number of moles of a solute per litre of solution.

Moles of solute is $\frac{5}{40} = 0.125 m o l e s$

Volume of the solution in litres is $100 / 1000 = 0.1 L$

Molarity $= \frac{0.125}{0.1} = 1.25 m o l L = 1.25 m o l {d m}^{3}$

Hence, option D is correct.
