Which is a hydrophilic solvent?

Mineral oil
Sterile water
Petrolatum
Poly base

The correct answer is: Sterile water

Mineral oil, option A, is a hydrophobic solvent that repels water. Petrolatum, option C, is also a hydrophobic solvent. Poly base, option D, is a polymer-based solvent and is not classified as hydrophilic or hydrophobic. Therefore, option B is the only correct answer for a hydrophilic solvent.
