Solution

The correct answer is b. Beaker A has a supersaturated solution while beaker B has a saturated solution.

Here's why:

A saturated solution is one in which no more solute (in this case, salt) can be dissolved in the solvent (water) at a given temperature. This is the case with Beaker B, which is a clear solution, indicating that all the salt has been dissolved.

A supersaturated solution, on the other hand, contains more solute than can be dissolved at the current temperature. This is usually achieved by dissolving the solute at a high temperature and then slowly cooling it. If any more solute is added, or if the solution is disturbed, the excess solute will precipitate out. This is the case with Beaker A, where salt granules are visible at the bottom, indicating that they are unable to dissolve in the water.
