Solution

The correct option is A True
True. Oil doesn’t dissolve in water, i.e., it is immiscible in water. This is because its molecules are non-polar while water is a polar solvent. Non-polar substances do not dissolve in polar solvents and vice-versa. This is because of the difference in the interparticle forces of attraction that exist among polar and non-polar substances.
