Answer 1

Out of the given options, “It has varying properties” is the correct one about the characteristic of a mixture.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

A mixture usually formed when more than one elements get mixed. In the process of forming a mixture, the constituent elements don’t drop their individual property and hence, the product shows mixed characteristics.

The prime characteristics of the mixture are that they show varying properties according to its constituent elements. All states of matter can combine to form a mixture such as air, ink, gunpowder, etc.

It’s generally easy to separate the elements of a mixture through physical processes. There is no variation of energy during the mixture formation and the proportion of the elements may vary.
