Correct answer: the substance that gets dissolved.
A solute is the substance dissolved in a solvent (for example, salt is the solute in saltwater). The solvent is the substance that does the dissolving — often a liquid like water, but either the solute or solvent can be solid, liquid, or gas depending on the system.
