Answer: This is a mixture.

Explanation:

A solution consists of solute (which can be solid, liquid or gas) mixed in a given amount of solvent.

A mixture is a combination of two or more substances which are not present in a definite proportion.

We are given two solids: copper and silver.

As, they are not present in definite proportion hence, they are considered as mixtures.
