solubility increases as temperature increases.

[B].

solubility increases as temperature decreases.

[C].

solubility is independent of temperature.

Work alone can not bring out such a change of state.

[C].

The amount of work needed is independent of path.

[D].

More information is needed to conclude anything about the path dependence or otherwise of the work needed.
