c. the soluble compound exists as dissolved ions in a solution while insoluble compound forms as a precipitated.

Explanation:

Let's consider an example of a double displacement reaction that produces a soluble compound and an insoluble one.

BaCl₂ (aq) + Na₂SO₄ (aq) ⇒ NaCl (aq) + BaSO₄ (s) ↓

NaCl is a soluble compound so it is dissolved in the solution. It is also an electrolyte so it ionizes in water according to the following equation:

NaCl (aq) ⇒ Na⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)

BaSO₄ is insoluble so it remains as a precipitate.
