Answer:

dilute and unsaturated

Explanation:

A dilute solution has a low concentration of solute in solvent. A concentrated solution has a high concentration of solute in solvent. In an unsaturated solution more solute can be dissolved in the solvent to form a solution. In a saturated solution more solute cannot be dissolved in the solvent to form a solution.

Since more CaSO₄ can be dissolved in CaSO₄ solution the solution is both dilute and unsaturated.

It has to be dilute since the crystal dissolved and unsaturated for the same reason so B
