Using a value of Ksp = 1.8 x 10-2 for the reaction PbCl2 Pb+2 (aq) + 2Cl - (aq). If the value of Ksp was determined to be only 1.2 x 10-2:

a. Too much solid has dissolved.

b. Additional precipitate is forming.

c. The solution is unsaturated.

d. The ions are now combining to reduce their concentrations.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. If the value of Ksp was determined to be only 1.2 x 10-2, then the solution is unsaturated since the Ksp determined was less than expected. Hope this answers the question.
