Solution

The correct option is E Concentrated
The term 'concentrated' indicates there is a large quantity of solute, compared with the amount of solvent, in a solution. The descriptive term 'dilute' indicates there is a small quantity of solute, compared with the amount of solvent, in a solution.

The other terms, soluble and insoluble, imply whether or not a solute dissolves in a solvent. Exhaustible is not a term that is used for solutions. It simply means something that tends to reduce in quantity depending on usage.
