The chart is attached below and the options are as follow,

A Benzene

B Methanol

C Hexane

D Octane

Answer:
Option-B (Methanol) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:
As we know that the substance given to student is soluble in water. Therefore, those substances which are soluble in water are polar in nature because water is polar in nature and Like Dissolves Like.
Hence, in chart it can easily be seen that Methanol is also polar in nature due to presence of -O-H (polar) bond. So, the substance will dissolve in it.
