Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Liquid in solid
The naming convention lists the solute state first and the solvent state second. Since the solute is liquid and the solvent is solid, the solution is called liquid in solid. It is not solid in liquid because that reverses the two states, nor liquid in gas or liquid in liquid because the solvent is explicitly solid.
