When water is about to vaporize it is called Correct Answer saturated liquid

Explanation:

Pure substance: A substance that is made up of one kind of particle and contains a fixed or constant structure is called a pure substance.

Sub-cooled liquid: If a liquid exists at a temperature below the normal boiling temperature then it is termed a sub-cooled liquid.

Saturated liquid: The liquid which is about to vapourize for a small change in temperature is called saturated liquid.

Saturated liquid-vapor: The state at which the liquid and vapor phases coexist in equilibrium.

Saturated vapor: A vapor that is about to condense for a small decrease in temperature is called saturated vapor.

Superheated vapor: The vapor which cannot be condensed easily and the liquid will be at a temperature above the boiling temperature is called superheated vapor 
The above-mentioned regions are represented in the given P-V curve:

From the above dome G-H-D:

  • G-H = saturated liquid line
  • H-D = saturated vapor line 
  • H = critical point where saturated liquid and saturated vapor lines meet
  • The region to the left of the G-H curve is called the sub-cooled region
  • The region to the right of the H-D curve is called the super heated region 

​∴  The water which is about to vaporize is called Saturated liquid
