Solution

The correct option is A
Colour changes to blue

When pure copper sulphate is kept in water it starts to dissolve and in this process, a small amount of heat energy is released during the dissolution. It’s colour changes to blue because 5 molecules of water get attached to it. These molecules are referred to as the water of crystallisation. Due to this, it gets a peculiar blue colour
