Solution

c. The solute particles spread out evenly because of the random motion of molecules.

This is the best description of the movement of solute particles. This process is known as diffusion, where particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until they are evenly distributed. This happens due to the random motion of molecules.
