Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A compound that has a high affinity for water molecules and can absorb moisture from the atmosphere is known as hygroscopic. Ionic compounds with a high degree of polarity, such as salt, are typically highly hygroscopic. Therefore, option B is the best choice as it describes the property of attracting atmospheric water strongly. The other options are not relevant to the given property.
