The correct answer is:
1 molal
Number of moles of $\mathrm{NaOH}(n)$
$=\frac{\text { weight in } \mathrm{g}}{\text { molar mass }}$
$=\frac{40}{40}=1$
As molality of a solution is defined as the number of moles of the solute dissolved in $1000 \mathrm{~g}(1 \mathrm{~kg})$ of the solvent, thus the given solution of NaOH is ' 1 molal' solution.
