Answer:

C. Solid in liquid

Step-by-step explanation:

Seawater is an example of a solid in liquid solution.

Sea water is made up of:

  • water
  • mineral salts
  • dissolved gases

A liquid solution is always made up of a solute being dispersed within the solvent medium.

The solvent is the liquid or fluid medium.

Such solutions are homogeneous because the solute particles are distributed evenly or uniformly in the solvent.

The solute is usually present in smaller amount compared to the solvent.
