It is known that the three first alcohols are soluble in water, those are methanol, ethanol and propanol. It means that alcohols with less than 3 carbon atoms (methanol, ethanol) and with 3 carbon atoms (propanol) are soluble in water.

Therefore, the correct answer is Both A and B. The correct choice is D.
