Which of the following mixtures is an example of a colloid?
Explanation
Milk is a colloid. Fat droplets and proteins stay suspended in water. Particles are too small to see but don’t fully dissolve.
Orange juice is a suspension with large pulp particles. Sugar and salt solutions are true solutions. Everything dissolves completely.
Remember: Colloids have medium-sized particles. They scatter light but don’t settle out.
