Answer:

Option D - Concentrate

Step-by-step explanation:

The concentration of solution increases with increase in ratio of amount of solute to that of solvent in the solution and decreases with the decrease in ratio of amount of solute to solvent.

Therefore, adding more solvent will decrease the ration , hence the concentration of solution decreases.
