Question

The image above shows two items saturated with liquid. Consider the sponge. If you add more water to it, the water will run off into the sink. The same is true for the cake: It cannot absorb any more milk.
Based on this information, what does it mean to be saturated?
Two images are shown side-by-side. The image on the left (labeled "A sponge saturated with water") shows a wet yellow kitchen sponge near a running faucet. Water drips from the corner of the sponge. The image on the right (labeled "Cake saturated with milk") shows a square piece of white cake on a black plate. The cake appears very moist and a thin layer of milk spreads from it onto the plate.
A
Covered in a thin layer of liquid
B
Containing a significant amount of liquid
C
Holding the maximum amount of liquid
D
Weighing more when dry than when wet

C - Holding the maximum amount of liquid
Being saturated means that the sponge or cake has absorbed as much liquid as it can, and any additional liquid will not be absorbed but will run off instead.
