1 AnswersWhen a saturated solution is cooled, it generally becomes supersaturated (Option C).
Here's why: A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature. As the temperature decreases, the solubility of the solute typically decreases as well. If the solution cools down without any additional solute being added or removed, it can hold more solute than it normally would at the lower temperature, resulting in a supersaturated solution. This is an unstable state, and the excess solute can often crystallize out of the solution.
