all hydroxides are insoluble with the exception of those formed with alkali metal ions and barium.
Hence, CH3CH2OH is insoluble

The correct answer is E. C6H6 is not soluble in water. This is determined by the polarities of these substances. Benzene is a non-polar substance because it has equal number of electrons sharing a bond thus it does not dissolve in water which is a polar substance.
