Solution

The correct option is A suspension
The particles of mud in muddy water and particles of chalk in water are large enough to be seen with the naked eyes. These particles settle down to the bottom when left undisturbed. These properties point to the fact that these are examples of suspensions.
Hence, option $B$ is correct.
