Solution

The correct option is B D2O has lower dielectric constant than H2O
The dielectric constant of H2O(78.39) is higher than the dielectric constant of D2O(78.06). This is due to the lower molar mass of H2O as compared to that of D2O.

Due to this, NaCl (and other ionic compounds) dissolve more in H2O than in D2O.
