Question

saturated solutions can be:
a.dilute
b.concentrated
c.either dilute or concentrated
d.neither dilute or concentrated

Answer 1

Either dilute or concentrated.

Saturation means you can't dissolve any more solute in a solvent, and that depends on its solubility in the solvent. If the solute has a low solubility, it will take only a little solute before the solution is saturated and the concentration of the solute in the solution will be low. If the solute has a high solubility, more solute can be dissolved before the solution becomes saturated and the solution will be more concentrated.
