Answer:

All the items in the mixture will not be picked up by the magnet and therefore, all of them would be left behind

Step-by-step explanation:

Ferromagnetic materials are materials that can become magnetized and are also readily attracted to a magnet or by a magnetic field. Examples of ferromagnetic materials includes, iron, cobalt, and nickel, and their alloys

Ferromagnetic materials are mainly metals while all materials exhibit some form of magnetism including diamagnetism and paramagnetism, but these are not the type of magnetism seen in everyday life

Therefore, since neither of the tomato sauce mixture, the sugar or the carrots are not ferromagnetic materials none of them will be picked up by the magnet.
