Final answer:

Option D is not a homogeneous mixture because it describes a situation where the different substances of the mixture can be seen with the unaided eye, indicating that it is a heterogeneous mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking which of the options provided is not a homogeneous mixture. A homogeneous mixture is defined as a mixture that is uniform throughout, and its different components cannot be observed separately. This means that in a homogeneous mixture, substances are mixed at the atomic or molecular level and are evenly distributed.

Option A describes a homogeneous mixture where substances are evenly mixed but not chemically bonded.

Option B, a solution, is also a type of homogeneous mixture.

Option C, air, is another example of a homogeneous mixture where various gases are evenly mixed and cannot be seen separately with the eye.

Option D is the correct answer because it describes a mixture where you can see the different substances with the unaided eye, which is characteristic of a heterogeneous mixture, not a homogeneous mixture.

D. as such mixtures are called suspensions .....here u can easily see the substances floating around.....this is heterogenous ( opposite to homogeneous )
examples are sand and water mixture where you can see by practically trying it that the sand will rise inside water and move around but after a while the sand will settle at bottom........these mixtures are not homogeneous ......

HOPE IT HELPED !!
