Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sugar is a sucrose whose molecules are slightly polar in nature and with water sugar forms intermolecular bonds. As a result, energy is given off and the sugar starts to dissolve into water.

Therefore, sugar molecules completely dissolve into water and results in the formation of a clear solution.

Also, it is known that a substance which is present in less quantity in a solution is known as a solute whereas a substance that is present in large quantity is known as solvent.

Thus, we can conclude that sugar dissolved into a solution, with a solvent at the bottom of the jar.
