  • B
    Sugar crystals in hot water.
  • C
    Powdered sugar in cold water.
  • Powdered sugar in hot water.

Powdered sugar in hot water.
Since the solution is cool to touch, the dissolution is endothermic. Therefore, high temperature will favour dissolution. Further, powdered sugar has large surface area and is favourable for dissolution.
