The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Washing soda is sodium carbonate decahydrate, represented as Na\(_2\)CO\(_3\)·10H\(_2\)O. This indicates that washing soda contains 10 water molecules.
Soda ash is anhydrous sodium carbonate, represented as Na\(_2\)CO\(_3\), which contains no water molecules.
Thus, the number of water molecules in washing soda is 10, and in soda ash is 0.
