Among the substances listed, sugar (solid) is most likely to dissolve in greater quantities in cold water. Sugar is quite soluble in water, and its solubility is not significantly affected by temperature changes, unlike some salts. Potassium chloride and sodium chloride also dissolve in water, but their solubility tends to increase with temperature, and gases like oxygen have limited solubility in cold water compared to the other solids.
