Final answer:

The word 'eggs' is different from the others as it is not a dairy product. While cream, yogurt, cheese, and milk all come from cow's milk, eggs are laid by birds and are considered a heterogeneous mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked to identify which word from the set (cream, yogurt, cheese, milk, eggs) is different from the others. The first four options (cream, yogurt, cheese, milk) are all dairy products, while the fifth option (eggs) is not. Eggs are laid by birds and are not a dairy product. Dairy products are derived from cow's milk and include items such as cream, yogurt, and cheese. Eggs, on the other hand, are a source of protein that come from a completely different biological source, which in this case, is birds. Hence, they are categorized differently by chemists as a heterogeneous mixture, due to the different substances that compose the yolk and the white.
