"The solute particles are carried into the solution."

Explanation: Polar solutes dissolve in water because water molecules (polar) attract and surround the solute particles (hydration), pulling them into solution. The other statements are false: water is polar (not nonpolar), polar solutes do have attraction to the solvent, and they are not necessarily very different from the solvent (they are similar in polarity).
