Consider the three statements below. Which numbered response contains all the statements that are true and no false statements? I. Hydration is a special case of solvation in which the solvent is water.
II. The oxygen end of water molecules is attracted toward Ca2+ ions.
III. The hydrogen end of water molecules is attracted toward Cl- ions.
a) I, II, and III
b) I and II
c) III
d) I
e) II

a) I, II, and III

Explanation:

For the first statement;

Solvation, is the process of attraction and association of molecules of a solvent with molecules or ions of a solute. if the solvent is water, we call this process hydration.

This means the statement is TRUE.

For the second statement;

The negatively-charged side of the water molecules are attracted to  positively-charged ions. In the case of water, the oxygen end is the negatively charged side of water. This means the statement is TRUE.

For the third statement;

The positively-charged side of the water molecules are attracted to the negatively-charged chloride ions. In the case of water, the hydrogen end is the positively charged side of water. This means the statement is TRUE.

Going through the options, we can tell that the correct option is option A.
