Answer #1

Answer- B----> Ammonia , NH3

Ammonia is expected to be more soluble in water because ammonia and water both are polar in nature ; solubility of a substance in water is dependent on its nature ( polar or non-polar) .

Ammonia has ability to form hydrogen bonds with water , there is lone pair at the nitrogen of ammonia , so the lone pairs of oxygens from the water are attracted, thus forms hydrogen bond consequently.
