The concentration of a solute in a solution is greater than the maximum concentration that is predicted from the solute's solubility. what is the best way to describe this solution?

diluted

saturated

unsaturated

supersaturated

The best way to describe the solution is SUPERSATURATED.

A solution is said to be supersaturated if the solutes in the solution is more than the maximum quantity that the solvent can easily dissolved under normal conditions. Supersaturated solutions are often unstable and the solutes particles easily crystallizes out of solution. There are a number of factors that affect the solubility of solutes in solvents. One of these is temperature; the higher the temperature, the higher the solubility. Saturated solutions are usually heated up in order to increase their temperature so that more solutes will dissolve in them to form supersaturated solutions.

alfred von schlieffen, german army chief of staff, was given instructions to devise a strategy that would be able to counter a joint attack. in december, 1905, he began circulating what later became known as the schlieffen plan. schlieffen argued that if war took place it was vital that france was speedily defeated.
