The correct answer is: Option (D) 120g

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following:

Mass of sugar = 20 g

Mass of water = 100 g


When sugar is completely dissolved into water, the mass of the solution will get:


mass-of-solution = mass-of-sugar + mass-of-water

mass-of-solution = 20 + 100

mass-of-solution = 120 g (Option D)
