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 component ions (Na⁺ and Cl⁻). However, if you evaporate the water, the salt can be recovered as solid crystals, and it will retain its original chemical properties as sodium chloride.
