B.Saturated
A saturated solution is when the maximum amount of solute that could be dissolved in that solvent volume at that temperature and pressure has been dissolved, adding more solute beyond this point would lead to the additional solute not dissolving in the solvent. When the maximum solute concentration in the solution that can be dissolved has been reached the solution is said to be saturated.
