Don't be confused by anyone...
It's seems puzzling but the truth is that deliquescent substance can be anhydrous ( anhydrous means a substance without water)
But a deliquescent substance where it is kept may have a little amount of H2O in it that is not enough to form a solution and u may think it's anhydrous at the moment because it didn't turn a solution...? So this discredits the answer "B"

Meanwhile a deliquescent substance is also a hygroscopic substance why? Because both absorbs moisture from the atmosphere... The only difference is that one (deliquescent) forms a solution afterwards... The remains "C" 💯
Thank u...

You guys are just saying Cccc!!! because JAMB chose C in 1995Chem.

But I believe that this people are correct and JAMB is wrong by choosing C. ..CuSO4 is anhydrous. CoCl2 is anhydrous not hygroscopic......I believe it's {B}
