Consider the following statements: I. Solubility decreases with increase in size of alkyl/aryl groups. II. Alcohols and phenols react with active in metals like Na , K etc., to produce corresponding alkoxides or phenoxides. III. Alcohols act as Bronsted acid in the presence of strong acid. IV. Alcohols react with both nucleophile and electrophiles. Choose the correct option.
