Answer:

B.) A mixture can be separated by physical means.

Step-by-step explanation:

While it may be difficult, mixtures can be separated back into their original elements/compounds. Compounds cannot be separated because their original elements/compounds bond together to form the new compound. The only way to separate compounds is through chemical (or drastic physical) means.
