Solution
The correct option is
A
Oils and fats
Like dissolves like. Oils and fats being covalent dissolve in ether, anon-polar solvent.
-Generally, polar solvents have a habit to dissolve polar solutes and nonpolar solvents have a habit to dissolve nonpolar solutes.
-Whereas non-polar chemicals and polar chemicals are immiscible (do not mix each other).
- like dissolves like mean that polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents and non-polar compounds soluble in non-polar substances.
Lipids are all insoluble in polar solvents like water but highly soluble in non-polar or weakly polar organic solvents, including ether, chloroform, benzene, and acetone.
