c) Diluted.
d) Insoluble.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A (Saturated)

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

a) Saturated.

When salt is added to water until no more salt can be dissolved, it forms a saturated solution. A saturated solution is a solution in which the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved at a given temperature and pressure, and no more solute can dissolve. It is in a state of dynamic equilibrium, with solute particles constantly dissolving and precipitating at the same rate.
