Solution

The correct option is B

A solution that cannot dissolve any more solute at a given temperature.


Correct option explanation:

Saturated solution: A solution in which no more solute can dissolve at a given temperature is called a saturated solution.

Incorrect option explanation

(a) A solution that cannot dissolve any more solute, but the temperature is not mentioned, therefore, the given option is incorrect.

(c) A solution that cannot dissolve any more solute at a given temperature, so room temperature is not the correct temperature value.

(d) A solution that can dissolve any amount of solute at a given temperature, is the wrong statement as more solute cannot be added.

Concluding statement:

A solution in which no more solute can dissolve at a given temperature is called a saturated solution, therefore, option (b) is the correct answer.
