The correct option is C separated by simple physical methods
Mixture - When two or more substances are mixed physically in any random proportion in such a way that they retain their individual properties is called a mixture.
For example - sand, sugar syrup, salt solution, air, etc.
The explanation for the correct answer -
(C) Separated by simple physical methods - since no chemical reaction occurs during the making of mixtures, they can be easily separated by simple physical methods.
For example - filtration, sieving, etc.
The explanation for the incorrect answer -
(A) Present in definite proportion - mixtures can be made by mixing substances in any proportion so this is not true.
(B) Chemically combined - mixtures are made by mixing substances physically. No chemical reaction is involved in it.
Hence option (C) is correct. In mixtures, constituents are separated by simple physical methods.
