The solution before dilution and after dilution contains same number of moles, and water is added for dilution.

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose before dilution, the solution contains x moles of KCl in Y liter of water. Now as the concentration got halved, then the solution contains x moles of KCl in 2Y kiters of solution. So the number of moles of KCl in the solution remained constant.

Again, as the solution is diluted to half of the concentration, water must have been added with the solution to make it dilute.
