Similar substances tend to mix with other substances, thus polar substances mix easily with other substances and nonpolar substances mix with nonpolar substances. Therefore, to know which substance will not form a solution, we must compare its polarity.

We see that the pair of substances that do not share the same polarity is Water and hexane, therefore this will be the substance that will not form a solution

Answer will be: Water and Hexane
