The answer to this is

Unsaturated solution

Explanation:

An unsaturated solution has the property of having a solute concentration lower than the the solubility at equilibrium at a given temperature hence it has the capacity to dissolve more solutes. Is is a solution containing a lower amount of solute than a saturated solution

The two processes that occur on dissolving a solute in a solvent are dissolution and crystallization and in an unsaturated solution the rate of dissolution is greater than the rate of crystallization
