Answer:

B. 3.0 mol·L⁻¹ NaCl

Step-by-step explanation:

Freezing point is a colligative property: it depends only on the number of particles in solution.

The for freezing point depression ΔT_f is

ΔT_f = iK_fb

where

i = the number of moles of particles available from one mole of solute

K_f = the molal freezing point depression constant

b = the molal concentration of the solute

All your solutions are aqueous NaCl. They differ only in their concentrations.

Thus, the most concentrated solution will have the greatest freezing point depression and the lowest freezing point.
