Solution

The correct option is D this mixture has a lower melting point than NaCl
The sodium is made by electrolysis of a molten mixture of 40% $N a C l$ and 60% $C a C l_{2}$ because the mixture of 40% $N a C l$ and 60% $C a C l_{2}$ has a lower melting point than $N a C l$ .

Only the metal sodium can be easily extracted chlorine is the byproduct in this process.

Hence, option $D$ is correct.
