The best answer is that the solid is soluble in the liquid.
Explanation:
Miscible means that two liquids can dissolve in each other in any proportion to form a solution.
One of the substances in this question is a solid, so the term "miscible" does not apply.
Solubility is the ability of a given substance, the solute, to dissolve in another substance, the solvent.
A solid (the solute) dissolves in a liquid (the solvent) to form a blue solution.
The question is referring to the solubility of the solid in the liquid.
