Solution

The correct option is D 1.25 mol dm3
Molarity is a unit of the concentration measuring the number of moles of a solute per litre of solution.

Moles of solute is 540=0.125 moles

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

Molarity =0.1250.1=1.25mol L=1.25mol dm3

Hence, option D is correct.
