Answer 1

-ok so you know that stirring sugar in iced tea to dissolve it, well this is a physical change.
-also we know that water is a "universal" solvent; so i water is the solvent then the Iced tea mix is the solute.
Hope it helps :)

Answer 2

technically nothing is a universal solvent, if it were what would you contain it in? (it would dissolve the container - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkahest).
B) and C) are true, the solute (iced tea mix) is dissolved into the solvent (water).
