Select one:

a.The white crystalline solid is soluble in the liquid present in Sample B.

b.Filtration can be used to separate the white crystalline solids in Sample B prior to evaporation.

c.The absence of residue in Sample A after evaporation implies that it could be a pure substance.

d.Sample A and Sample B both exist as one distinct phase before evaporation.
