Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
A saturated solution is that in which no more solute can be added. On cooling solubility decreases because temperature decreases which separates the solute particles as the kinetic energy decreases. So, the saturated solution becomes supersaturated on cooling. Soda water that contains carbon dioxide dissolved in it at high pressure is a good example of a saturated solution.
