Explanation / Answer

We can use the following relationship for volume and molarity.

V1S1 = V2S2

Where V= volume, S=molarity, 1 for initial and 2 for final.

Now, we can write,

V1= 265 ml, S1 = 1.75 M

V2 = ? S2 = 0.750

So, V2 = 265*1.75/0.750 ml = 618 ml is the final volume.

So water to be added = 618 -265 = 353 ml.

Therefore,

A. is the answer.
