Question Analysis
This question assesses the student's understanding of the "like dissolves like" rule and its application in predicting solvation.

Key Concept Explanation
The "like dissolves like" rule states that polar solvents (with uneven charge distribution) interact favorably with polar or ionic solutes, allowing dissolution. Nonpolar solvents (with even charge distribution) only dissolve nonpolar solutes.

Step-by-step Solution
1. Identify the key concept: The "like dissolves like" rule.
2. Recall that polar solvents dissolve polar or ionic solutes, and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes.
3. Evaluate the options provided:
Option A: Incorrect, polar solvents dissolve polar or ionic solutes, not nonpolar ...
