I don't know what the options were but a material that is very likely going to be challenging to recognize under a microscope as a mixture is a homogeneous mixture. A homogenous mixture is uniform and thus hard to recognize as a mixture. An example is water!
<span>The best reason I can think of for why we believe that air is a mixture is that freezing air slowly yields different liquids at different temperatures. Liquid nitrogen has a different boiling point than liquid oxygen. They also freeze at different temperatures. If air were only 1 compound, then air in its entirety would have a single boiling point and a single freezing point. </span>
