If we see from the practical point of view NACL is the most appropriate answer.

Same dissolve same. Common salt and water is ionic but sugar have covalent bond. So salt is easily dissolve in water then sugar.

Just do the experiment at home simple,

Take 2 glass of water and put sugar in one and common salt in other and see which is fast.

Yes, but I also thing that common salt is right because sugar take some time to dissolve in water, on the other hand common salt dissolve in second.

I am not satisfy with this answer. Please clear it.

Sugar (C12H22O11) is a polar covalent molecule. When it dissolves in water, the weak bonds between the carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms are broken. In the process, the bonds in the water molecules are also broken, and inter molecular bonds between the water and sugar molecules can then form. This allows up to 1800 grams of sucrose to dissolve in a mere liter of water.

Salt (NaCl) is an ionic molecule which is formed between a positive ion and a negative ion. The bond between atoms is much stronger than those in a covalent molecule. Consequently, it takes more energy to break the bond between sodium and chlorine. Salt molecules are also smaller than sugar molecules which leaves fewer opportunities for inter molecular bonds to form between salt and water.

Sugar mixed with water to form a homogeneous mixture but salt give heterogeneous that mean two different phase exit in salt solution but sugar solution gives a single phase thats why they given that answer.

I am not satisfy with this answer. Please clear it.

NaCl is ionic compound.

So should dissolve more in polar solvents like water than sugar which is a covalent compound.

Salt is ionic compound so it is soluble in water heavily.

Sugar is a organic compound and has less solubility.

Sugar is organic compound where as salt is ionic compound.
