    OHCH2CH2CH2CH2CH2OH is the most soluble in water.

    Explanation:

    This molecule has - OH groups at both ends. The - OH will be able to interact positively without water molecules by forming hydrogen bonds with the H ends of water molecules. This is because the - OH 's are polar making the molecule also generally polar - which would otherwise be nonpolar without them. Water being a polar solvent it dissolves polar substances.
