I think it’s A because a mixture is made up of multiple matters so D is incorrect, C is a single kind of matter, meaning it cannot be made of different mixtures so thats also incorrect. B is also incorrect because heterogeneous is a fancy way of saying “mixture”, therefore it would be incorrect. A is correct because mixtures can be separated i ways such as evaporation, distillation, and etc.
