Description: An organic compound 'X' showing the following solubility profile is:

Solution

A. m-Cresol: This is a phenol. It is acidic enough to dissolve in strong base (NaOH) but too weak to dissolve in weak base NaHCO3. This perfectly matches the profile.

B. o-Toluidine: An amine. It would be soluble in 5% HCl, not NaOH.

C. Oleic acid: A carboxylic acid. It would be soluble in both NaOH and NaHCO3.

D. Benzamide: An amide. Generally neutral, it would be insoluble in both NaOH and HCl under these standard conditions.
