The correct answer is **B. Yes, it can be extracted through evaporation. It retains its original properties.**

When salt (sodium chloride) is dissolved in water, it dissociates into its ions. However, it can be extracted from the solution through methods such as evaporation, where the water evaporates, leaving the salt behind. The extracted salt will then retain its original chemical properties.
