(Since my answer contradicts the other one here, let me reassure you that my answer is correct by stating that I’m currently doing my Ph. D. in Chemistry.)

A diluted solution is one in which the concentration of a dissolved solid (called the solute) is decreases via the addition of excess solvent. This means that A is a true statement.

Since molarity is a measurement of concentration, based on the conclusion for A, B is also a true statement.

For a given solution, excess solvent is added but the amount of solute present isn’t affected. This means that the number of solute moles is constant and the number of solvent moles is not; C is a true statement, whereas D is false.

Hope this helps!

When a solution is diluted, the concentration of solution increases, as first statement is false, the correct option is A.

What is a solution?

A liquid mixture in which the minor component i.e., the solute is uniformly distributed within the major component i.e., the solvent is referred to as a solution.

A dilute solution is one where a small portion of solute is dissolved in the solution. A concentrated solution contains a significant amount of solute.

Thus, the correct option is A.
