B) "NO" is the only compound in the list. It is slightly soluble in water.

Explanation:

The other substances are elements.

A) "N"_2

The solubility of "N"_2 in water at 20 °C and 1 bar is approximately 20 mg/L.

B) "NO"

The solubility of "NO" in water at 20 °C is about 56 mg/L.

C) "F"_2

"F"_2 does not have a recorded solubility because it reacts explosively with water to form "HF", "O"_2 and "O"_3.

"2F"_2 + "2H"_2"O" → "O"_2+ "4HF"
"3F"_2+ "3H"_2"O" → "O"_3+ "6HF"

D) "Pb"

Elementary lead does not dissolve in water.
