Answer is: 2 molar, but 2 moles of a solute in 1 liter of solution.
This is molar concentration (c) or molarity and it is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution.
Unit for molarity (c = n/V) is the number of moles (n) per litre (V), having the unit symbol mol/L or sometimes mol/dm³.
