  1. B. is appreciabley soluble in water at room temperature...

    All the other answers don't make sense! ;-) Well, 'A' definitely doesn't make sense to me. 'C' is not true since a pentanoic acid (the compound in question) is already fully oxidized. And 'D' is not true - H2SO4 will not dehydrate an acid...
