(A)They show H-bonding.
(B)They are soluble in water.
(C)They are soluble in organic solvents.Correct
(D)They do not contain any polar bond.

Answer: (C)

Solution

Alkyl halides have a polar bond (so statement D is false) but the halogen is not an effective hydrogen-bond acceptor with water's hydrogens in the way oxygen/nitrogen are, so alkyl halides do not form hydrogen bonds with water and are poorly soluble in
