Which of the following is correct statement regarding saturated solution?

When no more solute can be dissolved in a solution at a given temperature, it is called a saturated solution.

The correct answer is option 1. When no more solute can be dissolved in a solution at a given temperature, it is called a saturated solution.

Let us break down the statement:

When no more solute can be dissolved in a solution at a given temperature, it is called a saturated solution.

Solute Dissolution:  When a solute (such as sugar or salt) is added to a solvent (such as water), it dissolves until a certain point. The solute particles break apart and mix with the solvent molecules.

Saturated Solution:  A solution is considered saturated when it reaches a point where it cannot dissolve any more solute under the given conditions, specifically at a given temperature. At this stage, the solution is holding as much solute as it can, and any additional solute added will not dissolve but will remain as undissolved particles in the solution.

Equilibrium:  In a saturated solution, there is a dynamic equilibrium between the dissolved solute and the undissolved solute. Particles are continually breaking off from the undissolved solute and entering the solution, while at the same time, dissolved particles are rejoining the undissolved solute.

In summary, a saturated solution is a state in which the maximum amount of solute is dissolved in the solvent at a specific temperature, and further addition of solute does not result in additional dissolution.
