Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is known that molarity is the number of moles of a substance present in liter of a solution.
Mathematically, Molarity = [tex]\frac{\text{no. of moles}}{\text{volume in liter}}[/tex]
Symbol which represents molarity is "M". For example, a solution of 5.0 M means that molarity of the solution is 5.0 or the solution is 5.0 molar.
Thus, we can conclude that a solution that is labeled 5.0 M would be read as 5.0 molar.
