Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A solute is defined as a substance which is present in small quantity into a solvent. Whereas a solvent is defined as the substance present in large amount as compared to a solute into a solution.

Therefore, always a solute tends to dissolve in solvent and never ever a solvent dissolves in a solute.

It is true that solutions can be made of liquids and solids, liquids and liquids, or gases and liquids. As a solution is a physical combination of two or more same or different states of matter.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options in a solution, the solvent is dissolved into the solute, this statement is incorrect.
