Solution

The correct option is A NH3
As the size of the nitrogen in ammonia(NH3) is small when compared to the central atoms of other hydrides of the 5th group, so it is most electro-negative atom and forms a strong hydrogen bonding with water molecules and dissolve more(solubility is high).
Hence option A is correct.
