Solubility is the
A
ability to be scratched
B
ability to be hammered into thin sheets
C
how shiny it is
D
ability to dissolve
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Solubility is the ability of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance (referred to as the solute) to dissolve in solvent (usually a liquid) and form a solution. The solubility of a substance fundamentally depends on the solvent used, as well as temperature and pressure.

Detailed explanation-2: -In chemistry, solubility is the ability of a substance, the solute, to form a solution with another substance, the solvent. Insolubility is the opposite property, the inability of the solute to form such a solution.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dissolution is the process where a solute in gaseous, liquid, or solid phase dissolves in a solvent to form a solution. Solubility is the maximum concentration of a solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature. At the maximum concentration of solute, the solution is said to be saturated.

Detailed explanation-4: -Solubility is an ability of a substance to dissolve. In the process of dissolving, the substance which is being dissolved is called a solute and the substance in which the solute is dissolved is called a solvent. A mixture of solute and solvent is called a solution.

Detailed explanation-5: -Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of a substance that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specified temperature. Solubility is a characteristic property of a specific solute–solvent combination, and different substances have greatly differing solubilities.
