Solution

The correct option is C

All are true


The above question can be explained as:

  1. Due to the presence of Intramolecular H-Bonding in ortho substituted benzoic acid, it is less likely to be crystalline than para substituted benzoic acid.
  2. Due to the absence of intramolecular H-Bonding in para substituted benzoic acid, it has a higher boiling point and dissolves more readily in water than ortho substituted benzoic acid.

Therefore, the above points clearly explains the molecules and statements related to them.
