This question requires a Chegg account to access. However, I can still explain the concepts involved in the question.

The question asks which of the following solutions will cause sugar to dissolve:
a) Air
b) Fruit salad
c) Oil and water
d) Soil

The answer is b) Fruit salad. This is because fruit salad contains a high amount of water, which is a good solvent for sugar. When sugar is added to water, it dissolves because the water molecules surround the sugar molecules, breaking apart the sugar crystals and forming a homogeneous mixture.

Air, oil and water, and soil are not good solvents for sugar. Air is a mixture of gases and cannot dissolve sugar. Oil and water are immiscible liquids, meaning they do not mix together, and therefore cannot dissolve sugar. Soil may contain water, but it also contains a variety of other substances that would not facilitate the dissolution of sugar.
