The correct response is: **Beaker A; because solutes with more surface area dissolve faster.**
Coarse sugar has less surface area compared to fine sugar, which means that fine sugar will dissolve more quickly in the water. Therefore, the sugar will dissolve faster in Beaker A (where fine sugar is placed).
