Solution

The correct option is E CaCl2
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.
