Which option correctly represents an increasing concentration trend?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Solute increases and solution volume remains the same
For a fixed solution volume, concentration increases when the amount of solute increases, since concentration is proportional to solute amount divided by volume. Decreasing solute lowers concentration. Adding solvent while keeping solute fixed increases volume and causes dilution, so choices C and D describe a decrease rather than an increase.
