  • Step 1 of 1

    Solution is formed by the physical combination of two or more soluble pure substances.

    (Physical combination means that the pure substances in the mixture do not alter their identity; sugar solution is a mixture of two pure substances water and sugar, in the solution water is still water even if some amount of sugar is also present in the solution.)

    Two pure substances which compose a solution are named as solute and solvent. The substance that is dissolved is known as solute and the substance which does the dissolving is known as solvent.

    Therefore, the substance that is dissolved in a solution is known as solute. Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
