Solution

The correct option is D In ion exchanges
In an ion exchange using hard water is not a disadvantage since it becomes soft by exchanging anions or cations. Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions (from water) are exchanged with H+ ions (from cation exchange resins). Cl, SO24 and NO3 ions (from water) are exchanged with OH ions (from anion exchange resins).
