Solution

The correct options are
A solubility of a covalent compound in water
C existence in liquid state
Ionic compound do not exhibit hydrogen bonding. Compounds exhibiting hydrogen bonding have high boiling points. Water is a liquid while $H_{2} S, H_{2} S e, H_{2} I e$ are gases.
Covalent compounds are soluble in water because of polarity exhibited as a result of hydrogen bonding.

$∴$ Ans $\to$ B) and C)
