Answer:

c  solvents dissolve chemicals with the same polarity ( ex. both are polar)

Explanation:

Like dissolves like is one of the central rule that guides the solubility of one substance in another.

  • It fully suggests substance having the same nature as in polarity-wise will dissolve one another.
