Solution

The correct options are
A soluble
C non-polar
Covalent compounds are usually soluble in non-polar solvents. They are attracted towards non-polar molecules with van der Waals forces of attraction. They do not have ions or partially charged poles. Thus, they cannot get attracted towards polar molecules.
