Answer:

water

Explanation:

In chemistry, an important principle that guides the solubility of a solute in a solvent is the principle of like dissolves like.

A polar solvent will dissolve a polar solute and a non-polar solvent will dissolve a non polar solute.

Ethyl acetate is a polar solute. It will have to dissolve in water which is a polar solvent. Hence, ethyl acetate will dissolve in the water layer.
