Solution

The correct option is B Dissolution and crystallization
When we reach the saturation point, the dissolving process does not really stop. What happens is that particles are returning to the surface of the salt at the same rate as they are leaving. The amount of material that is dissolving balances the amount of material that is crystallizing. We call this kind of balance a dynamic equilibrium. The equilibrium is between the process of dissolution and crystallization.
