Cristina Randolph · Answer 1

The correct answer is the dissociation of a polar covalent compound in water.

Explanation:

Sugar is formed of the molecules of sucrose comprising polar covalent bonds. They exhibit similar kind of oxygen-hydrogen covalent bonds, which are found in water.

As a sugar, is not an ionic compound, thus, the first two options are incorrect, and also because of the similar kind of bonding in sugar and water molecules, there will be no such force of attraction among them, thus, this will also opt out the last option.

Therefore, dissolution of sugar in water is considered as the dissociation of the polar covalent compound in water.
