Which term means to make liquid less concentrated?

• A. Distal
• B. Discreet
• C. Dysfunction
• D. Dilute

Answer: (D)

Dilution is the process of making a liquid less concentrated by adding more solvent. When you dilute a solution, you reduce the amount of solute per unit volume, lowering its concentration. That’s why the term that fits is dilute—you’re making the solution less concentrated, often by adding water or another solvent.

The other words don’t fit because distal refers to being far away, discreet (or discrete) means separate or distinct, and dysfunction means abnormal functioning. None of those describe changing a liquid’s concentration.
