B Correct answer
Explanation

Total volume = 1L + 3L = 4L. Sugar in 3L solution = 0.04 * 3 = 0.12L. Percentage = (0.12 / 4) * 100 = 3%.

AI explanation

Using the percentage formula, the amount of sugar is 3 multiplied by 0.04, which equals 0.12 liters. The total volume becomes 4 liters after adding 1 liter of water. The final percentage of sugar is (0.12 divided by 4) multiplied by 100, which equals 3 percent.
