Solution

The correct option is A
Number of replaceable ions; in the solution

Valency factor / n - factor is a very useful conversion factor by which we divide the molar mass of a substance to get the equivalent mass and it depends on the nature of the substance which varies from one condition to another condition.
Examples of valency factors for acids:
(i) HCl $\to$ valency factor = 1
(ii) $H N O_{3}$ $\to$ valency factor = 1

(iii) $H_{2} S O_{3}$ $\to$ valency factor = 1 or 2 depending on extent of reaction.
