Answer:

Answer below

Explanation:

A - false

B - true

C - false

In chemistry there is a principle that polar compounds are soluble with other polar compounds and non-polar compounds are mutually different.

Thus, sodium chloride is an ionic salt (polar) so it is not soluble in the benzene (non-polar) covalent compound, but it is soluble in water that is polar.

The ionic compounds will be soluble in polar solvents and not soluble in non-polar solvents, regardless of whether they are organic or inorganic.
