Solution

The correct option is B

Saturated state


On adding solute (sugar) in the solvent(milk) it starts getting dissolved. But if we keep on dissolving that solute to the solvent then a time will come when no more sugar gets dissolved in the milk, rather the excess sugar will be settled at the bottom of the glass. This shows that it is the saturation point of the liquid and the state is called the saturation state. Saturation state is temperature dependent. Increasing the temperature of a solvent will result in an equivalent increase in the amount of solute it can dissolve. Hence increasing the saturation point.
