Answer: option B.olive oil.Explanation.The general rule of thumb when you analyze the ability of a solvent to dissolve a solute is that lke dissolves like.
That means:
1) polar solvents dissolve ionic or polar solutes
2) Non-polar solvents dissolve non-polar solutes
3) Non-polar solvents do not dissolve polar and ionic solutes
4) Polar solvents do not dissolve non-polar solutes.
There are exceptions, but the rule is applicable in here.
<span>
A. table salt: it is NaCl, a ionic compound, so the water which is a polar solvent will dissolve the table salt.
B. Olive oil: the oils are non-polar organic compounds, so it will not be dissolved in a polar solvent.
C. Vinegar: vinegar is acetic acid, which is a polar organic compound, so it will be dissolved in water.
D. Sugar: sugar (sucrose) is a polar organic compound, so it will get dissovled in water.</span>
