Solution

The correct option is C Water
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.

The substance present in a minor amount is known as solute and the one present in major amount is called solvent.

Water, due to its ability to dissolve most of the solid, liquid and gaseous substances in it is called the universal solvent.
