Answer:

B. A physical change can separate its mixed components.

Step-by-step explanation:

Atoms and molecules of different elements can come together to form a substance known as MIXTURE. A mixture comprises of several units of different elements or compounds that are not chemically joined together. This is the case of hair gel, which is a mixture i.e. it contains several compounds mixed together in an uneven ratio.

Since the components of a mixture such as the hair gel, are not joined together chemically i.e no chemical bonding or altering of chemical structure occurs between the mixture constituents, they can be separated using physical means. Physical methods of separation such as boiling, chromatography, etc.
