Question

a supersaturated solution is one that...
contains less solute than a saturated solution.
contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute.
is the amount of a substance required to form a saturated solution.
contains more solute than a saturated solution.

Explanation:

A supersaturated solution contains more solute than a saturated solution. This is because a supersaturated solution is formed by dissolving more solute (by methods like heating and then slowly cooling the solution) than what would normally dissolve at a given temperature (the amount in a saturated solution).

Answer:

The green - colored option (contains more solute than a saturated solution) is the correct description for a supersaturated solution.
