Which option has a solid solute and a gaseous solvent?

Correct answer: Camphor in nitrogen
Camphor is a solid substance, so it is the solid solute in the stated example. Nitrogen is a gas and provides the gaseous solvent or medium. Thus the combination is solid in gas. Hydrogen in palladium has a gaseous solute and solid solvent; oxygen in water has gas in liquid; and ethanol in water has liquid in liquid, so those options do not fit.
