    The answer to your question is: water, polar solvent.

    Explanation:

    Data

    sample of CaCl2

    Solid copper this option is incorrect because in order to dissolve something the solvent must be liquid and this is a solid solvent.

    water, I think this option is right, because CaCl2 is ionic and water is a polar solvent, CaCl2 will dissolve in water.

    a polar solvent, CaCl2 will dissolve is a polar solvent like water, this option is correct.

    hexane, CaCl2 will not dissolve in hexane because hexane is a non polar solvent and CaCl2 is ionic. This option is wrong

    a nonpolar solvent This option is not right, CaCl2 will only dissolve in polar solvents.

    liquid mercury, This option is wrong, mercury is not a solvent.
