Solution

The correct option is C No change takes place.
Normally, a saturated solution on heating, some more solute gets dissolved, but on cooling, again that extra solute dissolved crystallizes out.
But as no more salt is added in the above case, no change takes place.

Hence, option (C) is the correct answer.
