Solution

The correct option is C Mixture
Matter that consists of two or more substances which may be elements, compounds or both mixed together physically in any proportion, but not chemically combined is called as a mixture. Each component of a mixture retains its individual properties.
For example, we could mix various proportions of hydrogen and oxygen gas, as long as you do not ignite the mixture, the combination will form a mixture that can be separated.
