Solution

The correct option is E
Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.

Assertion: A saturated solution is not necessarily concentrated.
A saturated solution can be either dilute or concentrated, depending on the solubility of a solute in a particular solvent. The amount of solute needed to make a saturated solution depends on the solubility of a solute in a particular solvent.
• If the solute is highly soluble, a saturated solution will be
very concentrated.
• If the solute has low solubility, the saturated solution will
be diluted.

Reason: Dilute and concentrated are terms that signify only the relative amount of solute dissolved in a solvent. The amount of solute in a concentrated solution is much more than the amount of solute in a dilute solution. They don't actually signify or indicate the solubility of the solute in a particular solution.
Both assertion and reason are correct and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
