(B) For a salt of type $MX_2$,the dissociation is given by: $MX_2(s) ⇌ M^{2+}(aq) + 2X^-(aq)$.Let the solubility be $S \ M$. Then,$[M^{2+}] = S$ and $[X^-] = 2S$.The solubility product expression is $K_{sp} = [M^{2+}][X^-]^2$.Substituting the values: $K_{sp} = (S)(2S)^2 = 4S^3$.Given $K_{sp} = 4 \times 10^{-12}$,we have $4S^3 = 4 \times 10^{-12}$.$S^3 = 10^{-12}$,so $S = \sqrt[3]{10^{-12}} = 10^{-4} \ M$.Since $[M^{2+}] = S$,the concentration of $M^{2+}$ ions is $1.0 \times 10^{-4} \ M$.
