Answer (2) is correctOrtho nitrophenol forms intramolecular hydrogen bonding therefore the active hydrogen is not available for making hydrogen bond with water molecule hence less soluble in water.

Ortho -nitrophenol is less soluble in water than p-and m-nitrophenols because. o-nitrophenol is more volatile stema than those of the and p-isomers. Solution : There is intramolecular H-bonding in o-nitrophenol and thus solubility in water is decreased.
