Answer: The correct answer is the solution and the solvent are liquid; the solute is a solid.
Explanation:
Solute is defined as the substance which is present in smaller proportion in a solution.
Solvent is defined as the substance which is present in larger proportion in a solution.
Solution is the combination of solute and solvent.
For a given solid-liquid solution, the solution has a large proportion of liquid in it. Thus, liquid is considered as solvent and the solution.
Solid particles are present in smaller proportion in a solution and is considered as solute.
Thus, the correct answer is the solution and the solvent are liquid; the solute is a solid.
