What term describes a well mixed homogeneous mixture that contains a solute and a solvent?

• A. Solvent
• B. Classification
• C. Prokaryote
• D. Solution

Answer: (D)

A solution is a well-mixed homogeneous mixture where a solute is dissolved in a solvent, giving a uniform composition throughout. The solute is the substance that gets dissolved, and the solvent is the substance doing the dissolving. For example, table salt (solute) in water (solvent) forms a salt solution. Because the mixture looks the same throughout, it’s a single, uniform substance at the molecular level.

The other terms don’t fit this description: the solvent alone is just the dissolving medium, not the complete mixture; classification is about grouping things, not describing a type of mixture; and a prokaryote is a kind of cell, not a mixture.
