Solution

The correct option is C CH3OH(D=32)
Like dissolves like. Since KBr is a polar ionic compound, it will be soluble in a polar solvent. The solvent with a higher value of dielectric constant will provide maximum solubility. It will be most soluble in polar solvents, i.e. with the highest value of D.
