Detailed Solution

The two elements of a solution are the solvent and the solute.
The element that dissolves the other component is known as the solvent.
The term "solute" describes an element that has been dissolved in a solvent.
The solute in a sugar solution is sugar, while the solvent is water.
By changing the surface area of the solutes as we prepare solutions, we can change how quickly they dissolve. The ratio of solvent to solute is typically large for the former and smaller for the latter. Since the solute is tiny, it may readily squeeze between the molecules of the solvent, resulting in a homogenous solution. In sugar solution, sugar is dissolved in water. Here water act as solvent and sugar acts as solute.

Hence, option A is correct.
