Solution

The correct option is A Suspension > colloid > solution
A solution is a homogeneous mixture as the particles in it are completely dissolved and uniformly distributed.

Suspensions and colloidal solutions are heterogeneous mixtures as the particles are neither completely dissolved nor uniformly distributed throughout.

The size of particles in a solution, colloid and suspension are:
Mixture Size of particlesSolutionLess than 109 mColloid Between 109 - 106mSuspensionGreater than 106 m So, the correct arrangement of mixtures in the decreasing order of their particle size is: suspension > colloid > solution.
