I think you have a typo in your question. #(c)# should read...#AlCl_3# and this is the correct answer...

Explanation:

The other options speciate to give TWO ions, or remain molecular in solution...

#A)# #HCl(g)stackrel(H_2O)rarrH_3O^+ + Cl^-#

#B)# #NaOH(s)stackrel(H_2O)rarrNa^+ + HO^-#

#D)# #C_6H_12O_6(s)stackrel(H_2O)rarrC_6H_12O_6(aq)#

But...

#C)# #AlCl_3(s)stackrel(H_2O)rarrAl^(3+) + 3H_3O^+ + 3Cl^-#

And so which is the winner?
