The explanation for the correct answer

Option B

• Miscible liquids are liquid substances that can not mix up with each other to form a homogeneous solution.
• They give a clear solution after mixing.
• Liquids such as alcohol and vinegar are completely dissolved in water and form a homogeneous miscible liquid.

The explanation for the incorrect answer.

Option A

• Universal solvents can dissolve many substances to form aqueous solutions.
• It can dissolve many more substances than any other liquids. Hence they are called the universal solvent.

Option C

• It is a heterogeneous system that consists of particles that are dispersed throughout another substance.
• Milk, cream, and toothpaste are examples of colloid.
• Particles of colloids are not visible under the naked eye.

Option D

• Immiscible liquids are those liquids that are not capable of mixing and attaining homogeneity.
• They give a cloudy appearance after mixing.
• Liquids such as petrol and vegetable oil do not dissolve in water. Hence they form immiscible liquids.

Thus, option B,i.e., Miscible liquids is the correct option.
