Solution
The correct option is B solvent
A solution is formed by dissolving one substance into another. The component that is present more in quantity is the solvent and the one present in lesser quantity is the solute.
For example, in lemonade, small amount of lemon juice is added to a lot of water. Hence, in this case, lemon juice is the solute and water is the solvent.
