Answer:

A saturated solution

Step-by-step explanation:

A saturated solution is a solution which has dissolved as much solute as it can dissolve at a given temperature. If more solutes are added, a saturated solution would not dissolve it. Such solution has reached its carrying capacity.

If the temperature changes, the solution might be able to dissolve more solutes in it.

An undersaturated solution is one in which does not contain enough dissolved solutes in it at a given temperature.
