I guess we need to see which compounds are ionic and which could be covalent.

Covalent compounds which will be able to form Hydrogen bonds will have better solubitlity than the corresponding no Hydrogen bonding compounds.

Ionic / Strong electrolytes on the other hand will be soluble due to hydration, there is very less significance of Hydrogen Bonding.

well you should be able to draw the structures. (only anions are reqd. in the first three)

i think the answer is K2 (HPO3)
since hydrogen will be attached to Phosphorus
which is not electronegative enough to show hydrogen bonding.
