Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

A mixture is two or more substances combined by physical means. Substance Y is composed of many different types of substances mixed together. Therefore, it is a mixture. Substance Z is composed of all the same types of particles. Therefore, it is not a mixture.

Answer:

option B is correct.

Y is a mixture in the picture.

Step-by-step explanation:

Different types of substances combine physically and form a mixture.

Mixture formed by the combination of two or more substances that that combine in same physical state.

For example mixture of copper sulphate and solid chloride in dry form and that will look like white and blue crystal in a mixture.

The picture Z showing dots of same color and is not a mixture, while picture Y shows dots of different colors clearly indicating that it is picture for mixture.
