Solution

The correct options are
A $P b C l_{2}$
B $A g B r$
C $A g C l$
$A g C l, A g B r, P b C l_{2}$ are not soluble in water, this is because of the higher partial covalent character of these compounds, due to either more polarisability of the anions or more polarising power of the cations.
And the covalent compounds are less soluble in water, as water can dissolve only ionic and polar compounds.
