{'molal solution': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'molar solution': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'solvent': [0, 0, 3, 1], 'normal solution': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'solute': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'mole': [1, 1, 1, 4], 'solution': [2, 0, 7, 14]}

The correct answer is option 1: 1 molal solution.

A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of a solute (the substance being dissolved) and a solvent (the substance in which the solute is dissolved). The concentration of a solution is a measure of the amount of solute present in a given amount of solvent or solution.

In this case, we have one mole of solute dissolved in 1000 g of solvent. A molal solution is a solution where the concentration is expressed in moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. Since the given solution has one mole of solute and 1000 g (or 1 kilogram) of solvent, it can be classified as a 1 molal solution.

Option 2, a molar solution, refers to a solution where the concentration is expressed in moles of solute per liter of solution. Since the given solution is expressed per kilogram of solvent, it is not a molar solution.

Option 3, a normal solution, refers to a solution where the concentration is expressed as the number of gram equivalent weights of solute per liter of solution. This is not the case for the given solution, so it is not a normal solution.

Option 4, a saturated
