Consider the following four substances at room temperature: • sodium chloride, NaCl • methanol, CH₃OH • chloromethane, CH₃Cl • benzene, C₆H₆ Which option ranks their solubility in water from highest to lowest? a)

\text{NaCl} \,>\, \text{CH}_3\text{OH} \,>\, \text{CH}_3\text{Cl} \,>\, \text{C}_6\text{H}_6

\text{CH}_3\text{OH} \,>\, \text{NaCl} \,>\, \text{CH}_3\text{Cl} \,>\, \text{C}_6\text{H}_6

\text{NaCl} \,>\, \text{CH}_3\text{Cl} \,>\, \text{CH}_3\text{OH} \,>\, \text{C}_6\text{H}_6

\text{CH}_3\text{OH} \,>\, \text{CH}_3\text{Cl} \,>\, \text{NaCl} \,>\, \text{C}_6\text{H}_6
