Verified Answer :

The correct option is C.

When glucose is stirred into water to form a solution, then glucose is the SOLUTE and water is the SOLVENT. A solute refers to a substance that is dissolved in a solvent. For instance, salt is the solute that is dissolved in salt solution. A solvent on the other hand refers to the liquid into which the solute was dissolved. For instance, in the case of salt solution, water is the solvent, because it is used to dissolve the salt.
