If a solution process is exothermic, how does the energy required for dissolving the solute compare with the energy released?

The energy required is more than the energy released.
The energy required is equal to the energy released.
The energy required is less than the energy released

The correct answer for the given statement above would be the last option. If a solution process is exothermic, the energy required for dissolving the solute compare with the energy released is that, the energy required is less than the energy released. When we say exothermic, heat is evolved. On the other hand, when heat is absorbed, this is called endothermic.
