Solution

The correct option is D false, true
Hydrocarbons are non-polar molecules and water is polar,
hence these can not dissolve with each other.
As "like dissolves like"
And it is true that substances that have same polarity are miscible with each other, and can dissolve each other. but here the hydrocarbon and the water have no similarity in polarity, hence can not dissolve with each other.
