Solution
The correct option is D
Mixture
A mixture is formed when atoms or molecules of the same or different particles combine with each other physically.
For example - Air is a mixture of gases like Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen, Oxygen, etc; dust, Water vapors.
The different substances that combine to form a mixture are known as ‘components of a mixture.
Since, there is no chemical bond formation that takes place between components of the mixture. Hence, constituents of a mixture retain their properties.
