The correct answer is B. The solute is the substance that can dissolve. So, alcohol is the solute.

Answer:

b. alcohol

Step-by-step explanation:

Alcohol & water can mix together, and the solute is the choice that has the least amount (in this case, alcohol, with 15 grams less than water). The Solvent is the choice that has the most amount (in this case, water).
