    Answer: Option D. the ones that are somewhat soluble in water and grease

    Explanation: ionic solvent (polar solvent) readily dissolve in water while oils dissolve in grease. The most common substance that can dissolve in grease and water is soap.

    Soap has both hydrophilic and hydrophobic ends which makes it readily dissolve in water and grease. The hydrophilic ends contains a polar head while the hydrophobic ends contains a non polar hydrocarbon tail
