Detailed Solution

The rule of "like dissolves like" governs soluble substances. As a result, a non-polar molecule does not dissolve in a polar solvent but does so in a non-polar one, and vice versa. They cannot mix because I2 is non-polar and H2O is polar. I2 turns polar and becomes KI3- when Kl is added. Additionally, the solubility of the KI3- anion in water increases as a result of ion-dipole interaction.

So, the required solution is option C) I2 forms soluble complex KI3 with Kl
