Which option correctly gives both the definition and the classification idea of a solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A solution is a homogeneous mixture, and its type is identified from the physical states of the solute and solvent.
A solution is a homogeneous mixture in which the components are uniformly distributed. Its classification may be based on the physical states of the solute and solvent, such as solid in liquid or gas in liquid. It need not contain water and may also be gaseous or solid, so the other statements are incorrect.
