Answer:

Saturated solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

A saturated solution is a solution that contains as much solute (maximum solute) as the solvent can hold at a given temperature. Increase in temperature, or pressure might increase the solubility of more solute in the solution. Also the solubility of some solute in a given solvent depends on its chemical nature. It's a known fact that polar solutes dissolves or are soluble in polar solvents.
