I would say the answer is D because of the common ion effect. If a lot of F- ions are floating around it would be harder to dissolve CaF2 in that solution. I was caught up between C and D and I figured that more F- ions would make it more difficult to dissolve the compound but I could be wrong.

I was also choosing between B and D but then how can you eliminate B? it has a lot of Ca for common ion!!!

it'd say it's D. NaOH is a very strong base, compared to the conj base of a strong base. Also NO3 is a strong organic base ( i think).

The answer to your first question is D. Due to the common ion effect, and since Fluorine would be in the largest quantity when aqueous, a solution with the highest concentration of F- ion would shift the reaction to the left, decreasing the solubility.

The answer to your second question would be B. While choice D is tempting, when placed in water it would produce a strong base and a strong acid - resulting in a neutral solution. In B however, we would produce a strong base (NaOH) and a weak acid - resulting in an overall basic solution.

Hope this is helpful.
