Answer is: D. The water would be the solvent.

Solvation is the interaction of solvent (water) with molecules or ions (iced tea mix) in a solute.

Solvent (usually a liquid, but can also be a solid or a gas) is a substance that dissolves a solute.

Solvent is always the same state of matter as the solution. In this example, ice tea solution is liquid, so water is a solvent.
