D. Some water droplets form on the outside of the glass
The subject is science

Answer 1

The correct option is;

A. Some ice cubes are floating in the tea

Step-by-step explanation:

A heterogenous mixture is one that is made up of more than one clearly identifiable phase of matter (such as solid and liquid, liquid and gas, gas and solid, or solid, liquid and gas combined) and therefore having non-uniform composition, which varies from one section to another within the mixture.

Ice cubes which are solids being observable on the surface of the mixture provides clue that the student has made an heterogenous mixture.
