The correct option is C

Sugar Solution


Explanation for correct option:

C. Sugar Solution

Homogenous mixture:

  • “A mixture contains more than one substance (element and/ or compound) mixed in any proportion.”
  • In a mixture when the substances are present in a uniform composition, these mixtures are called homogenous mixtures.
  • Examples of homogenous mixtures are sugar solution and salt in water.

Explanation for incorrect options:

Heterogenous mixture:

  • The mixture in which the composition is not uniform is known as a heterogeneous mixture.
  • Mixtures in two or more phases are heterogeneous mixtures.
  • Examples of heterogeneous mixtures are muddy water as well as oil in water.

Option A: Sea water is a heterogeneous mixture as there is bigger size impurities present which makes the mixture non-uniform in nature.

Option B: Buttermilk is a heterogeneous mixture due to its non-uniform composition.

Option D: The starch solution is a suspension.
