The two processes involved are filtration to remove the sugar molecules from the solution and distillation to separate the pure water from the dissolved sugar.

A sugar solution is considered a mixture because it is made by dissolving sugar in water. The sugar molecules remain intact in the solution and can be separated by processes like evaporation.
In a saturated sugar solution, the rate of sugar dissolving in water is equal to the rate of sugar crystallizing out of the solution. These two processes are at equilibrium, meaning the concentration of dissolved sugar remains constant as the dissolved sugar molecules are being dynamically exchanged with the crystallized sugar molecules.
Sugar in water forms a sweet syrup. The more sugar dissolved into the water the thicker (and more syrupy) it will become.
The only difference is the origin of the solution. A naturally-occurring solution is one that comes about by natural processes with non human interference. A manufactured or processed solution is one that is created by industrial production, in a laboratory, or from other human processes.
The mass of sugar is 100 g.
