Explanation:
Water can dissolve more substances than any other liquid primarily because of its dipolar nature. Water molecules have a polar arrangement, with an oxygen atom having a slightly negative charge and two hydrogen atoms having slightly positive charges. This polarity allows water molecules to attract and interact with other charged or polar molecules, facilitating the dissolution process. This property of water enables it to dissolve a wide range of substances, including salts, sugars, acids, and many other polar or charged compounds. Therefore, option (a) is the correct answer.
