Answer:

A solution was NOT formed.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a solution to be formed, the green powder would need to dissolve in the water to form a homogenous mixture. But since the water was cloudy and had lumps of the green powder, it means that the powder did not dissolve, but instead remained insoluble.
