Answer:
(A) Li is the correct option.
Explanation:
Hydrated salt is a crystalline salt in which water molecules are loosely attached to the salt. The water molecules which are attached to the salt are called water of crystallization.
Most of the lithium salts are hydrated because lithium has a small atomic radius which increases the hydration enthalpy. One of the most common hydrated lithium salt is trihydrated lithium chloride (LiCl.3H2O).
