Solution

The correct option is B False
We know that matter particles have spaces between them. Hence, water also has interparticle spaces.

When sugar or salt is dissolved in water, the particles occupy the spaces between the water particles. Thus, they dissolve completely in water and do not cause any rise in the volume of water in the beaker.
