Solution

The correct option is D all of these
Option $(D)$ is correct.
Carbon is insoluble in any solvent due to its very stable structure and bonds formed.Carbon needs other atoms attached to it to become polar enough to be soluble in water. For example, carbon is insoluble, but carbon dioxide ( $C O_{2}$ ) dissolves in water.
