Solution

The correct option is A water
We know that "like dissolves like". Ionic compounds being polar are more likely to be soluble in a polar solvent such as water.
Kerosene, oil, and petrol are non-polar solvents and, hence, are not likely to dissolve ionic compounds in them.
Thus option A is correct.
