Solution

The correct options are
B
High melting point and non-directional bonds

C
High solubilities in polar solvents and low solubilities in non-polar solvents

D
3D network structures and are good conductors of electricity in molten state

Ionic compounds have high boiling and high melting points.
They dissolve readily in polar solvents like $H_{2} O$ .
They are crystalline and good conductors of electricity in molten state as they are made up of ions and not molecules.
