Solution

The correct option is A Solubility and insolubility
While preparing tea, tea leaves do not dissolve in water that means tea leaves are insoluble in water. Whereas sugar dissolves in water which means that sugar is soluble. Solubility is defined as the ability of one substance to dissolve in another substance.
