Solution
The correct option is ECaCl2 Option C is the correct answer.
CaCl2 in aqueous solution dissociates to give one Ca2+ and two Cl− ions.
Any substance which dissociates to form ions can be termed as an electrolyte.
Here Calcium Chloride gives one ion of Calcium and two Chloride ions. That is, from CaCl2 a total of three ions are formed. Hence it can be classified as a strong electrolyte. The strong electrolytes dissociate completely in the solution. Here only CaCl2 is the only compound which completely dissociates.
