A student prepares a dilute water-treatment solution by adding a small amount of solid \(\text{MgCl}_2\) to a large excess of water. The solid dissolves completely. Each diagram represents the particles produced from one formula unit of \(\text{MgCl}_2\), and only the water molecules nearest the ions are shown.

Which particulate diagram best represents the relative placement of the dissolved ions and the dominant ion-dipole orientations of the nearest water molecules?
