B. The chemical properties of the solute and solvent are different

Explanation:

A solute is a substance to be dissolved. The solvent is the one in which the solute is dissolved.

For example: if the sugar is dissolved in the water then sugar is the solute and the water is solvent.

If a substance is boiled repeatedly and stirred, but the solute never mixes with the solvent then it means that the chemical properties of the solute and solvent are different.
