Answer:

The solution is saturated and that is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

A saturated solution is a solution that has the same amount of solute as a solvent. In this case the solute is sugar and the solvent is water. As I stop adding sugar just at the point where it no longer dissolves, then I have the same amount of solute as of solvent.

Therefore, the solution is saturated and that is the correct answer.
