Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Out of the given compounds, 1-propanol (C) is the most soluble in water because it can form strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds with water molecules due to the presence of a hydroxyl (-OH) group. This allows for a higher degree of solubility than the other compounds, which cannot form such strong interactions with water.
