B Correct answer
Explanation

Initial sugar = 4% of 6L = 0.24L. After evaporation, total volume = 5L. New percentage = (0.24 / 5) * 100 = 4.8%.

AI explanation

The initial six litres of solution contains 4 percent sugar, meaning the amount of sugar is 0.04 times 6, which is 0.24 litres. When one litre of water evaporates, the remaining total volume is 5 litres, but the amount of sugar remains 0.24 litres. The new percentage of sugar is (0.24 divided by 5) times 100, which equals 4.8 percent.
