Solution

The correct option is A a saturated solution
The hot sugar syrup is a saturated solution because sugar is soluble in water and solubility increases with rise in temperature. Once the solution is cooled, solubility decreases and the sugar becomes insoluble. So, a hard layer coating is formed on the sweets.
