D

Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the types of heterogeneous mixtures: suspensions, colloids, and alloys. Each has different particle sizes and behaviors.
Recall that suspensions contain large particles that are visible and can settle out over time due to gravity.
Recognize that because of their large particle size, suspensions can be separated by filtration, unlike colloids where particles are smaller and do not settle.
Note that alloys are homogeneous mixtures of metals and do not have particles that settle or can be filtered out.
Conclude that the mixture with large particles that settle out or can be separated by filtration is a suspension.
