Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Solubility
Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature and pressure. It varies with temperature; typically, solubility increases with heating for solids, allowing more solute to dissolve, while cooling can lead to decreased solubility, potentially causing the solute to precipitate out of the solution.

Temperature Effects on Solubility
Temperature significantly influences the solubility of substances. For most solid solutes, increasing the temperature enhances solubility, allowing more solute to dissolve in the solvent. Conversely, lowering the temperature can reduce solubility, leading to the formation of undissolved solid as the solution becomes saturated.

Saturation Point
The saturation point is the stage at which a solution can no longer dissolve additional solute at a specific temperature and pressure. When a solution reaches this point, any further addition of solute will not dissolve and will remain as a solid. Changes in temperature can shift this saturation point, affecting the amount of solute that can remain dissolved.
