The correct answer is A . MIlk is a mixture because pure substances were combined together without formation of bonds, hence it would be easy to separate the substances. On the other hand, salt, sulfuric acid and carbon-dioxide are made from bonding between elements in the periodic table to form compounds. Salt is formed through bonding between Na and Cl atoms, while sulfuric acid
H_2SO_4 is made from bonding
H^+ and
SO_4^-^2 ions. Carbon-dioxide
CO_2 is made from bonding between C and O elements. Compounds bond at a specific ratio while mixtures have no specific ratio of mixing.
