Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
When a substance dissolves in a liquid, then it forms a solution. The dissolved substance is solute, and the liquid in which it dissolves is solvent. The solution in which no more solute can be dissolved at a particularly given temperature is called a saturated solution. The solubility of a solute will increase when we heat the saturated solution. When we lower the water's temperature, the solvent's capacity to dissolve the solute will decrease, resulting in a decrease in solubility as the intermolecular space between the liquid molecules decreases on lowering the temperature.
The correct statement would be that a saturated solution of sugar in water will not remain saturated if the temperature of water is lowered by 8℃.
