Solution

The correct option is B Solubility
While preparing tea, tea leaves do not dissolve in water that means tea leaves are insoluble in water. Sugar dissolves in water which means that sugar is soluble. Solubility is defined as the ability of a solid, liquid, or a gaseous substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid, or gaseous solvent.
