Answer

Brief Explanations:

A saturated solution has the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature. When the solution is heated and more solute dissolves, it means it can now hold more solute than before the heating. An unsaturated solution can dissolve more solute. A concentrated solution just has a large amount of solute relative to solvent but doesn't necessarily relate to the solubility limit. A supersaturated solution has more solute dissolved than the normal solubility limit at a given temperature, but here we just know more solute dissolved upon heating making it able to dissolve more - which is characteristic of an unsaturated solution.

Answer:

unsaturated
