Ethanol is miscible with water (1). Diphenylmethanol has two large hydrophobic phenyl groups and the lowest listed solubility, 0.5 g/L (4). Branched neopentyl alcohol R is assigned 36 g/L (2), and straight-chain pentanol S 22 g/L (3). Thus code B; the numerical solubilities are the supplied values, not newly measured data.
