Solution

The correct option is B Saturated solution
A solution is made by mixing solute particles into a solvent. But there is a limit to the amount of solute a solvent can dissolve at a particular temperature. When no more solute can be dissolved in a solution at a given temperature, then such a solution is called as saturated solution.
