To determine what Line A on the graph represents regarding the relationship between temperature and solubility, we need to understand general trends in solubility for different states of matter:

a) **A solid in a liquid**: Typically, the solubility of most solids in liquids increases with temperature. Therefore, this would show a positive slope on a graph of temperature vs. solubility.

b) **A liquid in a gas**: The solubility of a liquid in a gas usually decreases as temperature increases. This relationship would show a negative slope.

c) **A gas in a liquid**: The solubility of gases in liquids generally decreases as the temperature increases, leading to a negative slope.

d) **A liquid in a liquid**: The solubility behavior of one liquid in another can vary widely and is not solely dependent on temperature, making it less predictable.

If Line A shows an increase in solubility with an increase in temperature, it would represent **a solid in a liquid** (option a). If it shows a decrease, it would represent **a gas in a liquid** (option c).

To conclude accurately, I would need to know the specific trend shown by Line A on the graph.
