Answer:

A. Water is an excellent solvent.

Explanation:

In the environment it is very difficult to find pure water because of the ease with which other substances mix with it. Even rainwater, for example, when falling, brings air impurities dissolved in it.

One of the important properties of water is the ability to dissolve other substances. Water is considered a universal solvent because it is very abundant on earth and is capable of dissolving much of the known substances. Because of this, water is able to carry minerals and nutrients.

Substances that dissolve in others are called solute. The substance that is capable of dissolving others, such as water, is called a solvent. The association of solute with solvent is a solution.
