Answer 2

Answer:

Heterogeneous mixture

Explanation:

A mixture is a combination of materials that are combined solely by physical processes. There are two types of mixtures heterogeneous and homogeneous.

Homogeneous mixture is a mixture that has uniform composition of their components. Composition of a substance means color, shape, size, weight etc.

Heterogeneous mixture is a mixture that does not have uniform composition of their components.

Steel is an alloy which is a combination of iron and carbon. The composition of iron and carbon is not uniform, so the mixture is a heterogeneous mixture.
