Let's start from the simpler ones:

An homogeneous solution can be seen as a mixture of differen components but mixed together evenly in a way we can't dicern one from the other.

So the best match is:

Homogeneous - Mixture that has its different components mixed evenly within the substance.

An heterogeneous solution is also a mixture of different components, but they are not mixed properly, we can distinguish one from the other.

The best match is:

Heterogeneous - Mixture that has its different components mixed unevenly within the substance.

A colloid happens when the insoluble solution happens in the microscopic scale, so the two components aren't mixed properly but in the microscopic scale only.

The best match is:

Colloid - A mixture in which microscopically insoluble particles are suspended throughout another substance.

And the emulsion take the last match:

Emulsion - A mixture in which two or more liquids are mixed that normally are not mixable.
