As we have learnt,

(A)  Both  \mathrm{\mathrm{LiCl}} and \mathrm{\mathrm{MgCl}_{2}} have significant covalent character and are soluble in ethanol

(B)  \mathrm{Li} and \mathrm{Mg}  do not form their superoxide

(C)  \mathrm{LiF} is less soluble in water than other alkali metal fluorides because of high lattice energy

(D)   \mathrm{Li_{2}O} is less soluble in water than other alkali metal oxides because of high lattice energy

Thus, only statements (A) and (C) are correct in the given question.

Hence, the correct answer is Option (A)
