A solution is oversaturated with solute. Which could be done to decrease the oversaturation?

Diluting the solution adds more solvent, lowering the amount of solute per unit of solution and reducing its oversaturation. Adding more solute would increase the excess, while cooling often lowers how much solute can dissolve and can make the solution more oversaturated. The correct choice is “dilute the solution.”
