Answer:

Option D

Oxygen particles mix evenly with hydrogen particles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diffusion refers to the movement of gasses from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

Diffusion occurs in gases because their particles are in a state of constant random motion.

Due to this continuous random motion, once the oxygen and the hydrogen are added to the container, they will begin to mix freely with each other until they fill up the entire volume of the container.
