Solution

The correct option is A
A saturated solution

The hot sugar syrup is a saturated solution because at high temperature more sugar is dissolved in water than its solubility. During cooling of the solution the solubility decreases and the sugar becomes insoluble. Therefore a hard layered coating is formed on the sweets.
