Solution

The correct option is B heterogenous mixture
Stainless steel is a metal alloy made up of steel mixed with elements such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, silicon, aluminium, and carbon. The content of these elements is not uniform throughout the solid solution which is a necessary condition to be a homogenous mixture. Thus stainless steel is a heterogeneous mixture.

Option (B) is correct.
