Solution

The correct option is B Particles settle at the bottom
Suspensions are a heterogeneous mixture. When the suspension is left for some time, particles get settled in the bottom because they are heavy, larger, and have less movement thus settle down due to gravity. Therefore, suspension is not stable.
