The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the fourth choice or letter D "Oil is nonpolar, and water is polar."

Oil will not dissolve in water because water forms a polar covalent bond and oil forms a non-covalent bond. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, in chemistry molecules dissolve with other molecules that share similar characteristics.

Answer;

= 0.054 kg or 54 g

Explanation;

Using the equation; Q = mcΔT where Q is the quantity of heat transferred, m is the mass, c is specific heat of the substance, ΔT is delta T, the change in temperature.

ΔT = 75 - 20 = 55 C.

Solve the equation for m

m = Q/ cΔT

Mass = 12500 / (55 × 4200)

= 0.054 kg or 54 g
