Both A and D are miscible (completely soluble at any concentration) in benzene.

I would think CCl4 because it seems to be the least polar. Like dissolves like so non-polar benzene will dissolve the least polar compound.

well usually the rule of thumb is like dissolves like so...
In CH3CH2OH you can expectlondon and dipole dipole forces and Hydrogen bonding as well
in NH3 has london dipole and hydrogen bonding
NaCl is usually a solid so probably not this....
CCl4 has no hydrogen bonding or dipole forces just like C6H6
so i would assume this would dissolve Benzene.

well, benzene is a non-polar solvent, right? and what they dissolve best is non-polar compounds.
(hint! NaCl is a polar compound! not a good choice!)

benzene is an aromatic nonpolar solvent. so to get anything to dissolve in it it has to be nonpolar. only one of the choices is nonpolar.
