Detailed Solution

Lithium chloride is soluble in ethanol, acetone, ethylacetate as well as pyridine

LiCl is soluble in ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, and pyridine. It is most soluble in lithium halide because it is soluble in both polar and non-polar solvents. It is the most soluble due to its covalent characteristics and polarizing strength. Not only that, but it also has the highest solvation energy among the halides. Li+ cation is tiny compared to Cl- anion, which makes it easier to dissolve and become soluble in other solvents.

Hence, option B is correct.
