which option describes covalent solutes?
a. covalent solutes consist of molecules that share electrons, and these solutes can be dissolved through dispersion and ionization.
b. covalent solutes consist of oppositely charged ions that are attracted to each other, and these solutes can be dissolved through dispersion and ionization.
c. covalent solutes consist of molecules that share electrons, and these solutes can be dissolved through dispersion and dissociation.
d. covalent solutes consist of oppositely charged ions that are attracted to each other, and these solutes can be dissolved through dispersion and dissociation.

C

Explanation:

Covalent solutes:It is that solute in which solute have covalent bonds.

Covalent bond: It is formed by sharing of electrons between the bonded atoms.It is not ionized.When the molecules dissociates then the molecule convert into its individual atoms .

Ionic bond: It is formed by giving or gaining of electrons between bonded atoms.It is ionized.When it is ionized then it convert into positive and negative ions.Charge on negative ions equal to charge on positive ions.

We have  to find which option describes covalent solutes.

Option A is not true because covalent bond can not be ionized.

Option B is not true because covalent solutes consist of covalent bond not ionic bonds.

C.Option C is true.

D.It is not true because covalent solutes have covalent bonds not ionic bonds.
