What remains after drying when applying a wet aqueous developer?

Explanation:
When using a wet aqueous developer, you’re applying a suspension of fine powder in water. As it dries, the water evaporates and the solid developer particles stay on the surface, forming a thin powder film. This coating is what enables the developer to draw penetrant out of flaws and provide the contrasting background for indications. The other options aren’t correct because you’re not applying paint, the solids don’t fully dissolve, and some residue inevitably remains as a thin powder layer, not nothing.
