A jar of mixed nuts. This is because you can see the differences. :)

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A mixture that contains two or more different substances which are mixed together in different composition is known as a heterogeneous mixture.

For example, a jar mixed of nuts is a heterogeneous mixture.

A mixture in which solute particles are evenly distributed throughout the solvent is known as a homogeneous mixture. It forms a clear solution.

For example, a glass of tap water is a homogeneous mixture.

A mixture in which microscopically insoluble particles are dispersed in a solvent then it is known as a colloid.

For example, milk is a colloid.

Therefore, we can conclude that out of the given options a jar mixed of nuts is a heterogeneous mixture.
