The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
Molarity is: $$M=\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{volume of solution in litre}}$$
Step 1: Find moles of salt.
Given mass: $$m=3.0g$$ Molecular weight: $$=30g/mol$$ So moles: $$n=\frac{3.0}{30}=0.1\text{ mol}$$
Step 2: Convert volume into litre.
$$250mL=0.250L$$
Step 3: Calculate molarity.
$$M=\frac{0.1}{0.250}=0.4M$$
Hence correct option is (D). :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
