I don't think it makes any difference in real life; however, most of the time we follow some generalizations.
USUALLY we call the material present in the larger quantity the solvent and the one in lesser quantity the solute. So H2O is the solvent in a. I would classify methylene chloride in c as the solvent.
Also we generally call a solid the solute and a liquid the solvent in solutions made of solids in liquids.
Usually a solution between a gas and a liquid results in the gas being called the solute.
