Answer:

The difference is in which in way that they can be separated.

Explanation:

While all three of these include mixtures of two or more things, a suspension can typically be re-separated by using a centrifuge and a solution can be filtered out. A colloid on the other hand, cannot typically be separated after it is put together.
