The correct option is **polarity**.
Polarity is a microscopic property that affects the interactions between molecules and plays a significant role in determining whether two substances will dissolve in each other. Substances with similar polarities (e.g., polar solutes in polar solvents) tend to dissolve well, whereas substances with differing polarities often do not.
