Solution

The correct option is A True
Option (A) is correct.
Carbon does not dissolve in any solvent due to its stable structure formed by strong covalent bond, so no solvent can introduce the force needed to break the covalent bonds and dissolve the structure.
However, it will react with oxygen and other oxidating agents to forms carbonates and carbonites.
