Solution

The correct options are
A Water solubility of Y is greater than X
C X is more volatile than Y

The ortho isomer has intramolecular Hydrogen bonding and hence has a lesser boiling point and is more volatile.

The para isomer has intermolecular hydrogen bonding and has a greater boiling point and is less volatile.

Para isomers generally possess more melting point owing to their structure which can fit more easily in a lattice.
