The answer is C. sugar is the solute; water is the solvent

In a solution, a solute the component which is
present in a lesser amount while a solvent is present in a greater amount.  
Since sugar is stirred into the water, sugar is present in the lesser amount and it is the solute. This leaves water as the solvent
