Solution

The correct option is A

They are homogeneous mixtures and be classified as a solid solutions.


As they have a uniform composition throughout, they are considered as homogeneous mixtures. Both samples are a mixture of two metals, i.e., gold and palladium, gold and nickel respectively. Thus, they are a type of solid-solid mixture, also known as alloys and homogeneous in nature.
