    Option b) the same

    Given that Ca Cl2 is a strong electrolyte it will dissolve completely and each mol will produce 3 times the number of mols.

    This means that 0.5 mol of CaCl2 will be equivalent to 1.5 mol of ions and then the change of the vapor pressure is the same than that of 1.5 mol / kg glucose.
