Explanation
NaCl: Ionic crystal lattice forces
Hg: Metallic bonding
CO₂: London dispersion forces
CH₄: London dispersion forces
Li₂O: Ionic crystal lattice forces
Ag: Metallic bonds
Ionic crystal lattice forces are strong electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions arranged into a crystal lattice of ionic compound. NaCl and Li₂O are ionic compounds
London dispersion forces holds the molecules of carbon dioxide and methane. They are weak attractions found between non-polar (and polar) molecules.
Metallic bonds exists between Mercury and Gold atoms. This is due to sea of electrons present.
Metals are the most abundant
The correct answer is: [D]: " milk " .
__________________________________________________________
Choice [A]: "soil" is incorrect; since "soil" is "heterogeneous" {composed of many different "ingredients" .].
__________________________________________________________
Same with "Choice [B]: "granola" [composed of many different ingredients—clumps of sweetened oats, raisins, coconuts, etc.].
__________________________________________________________
Same with "Choice [C]: "salad dressing". {Notice how we usually have to "shake the bottle" ? Composed of multiple ingredients, (e.g. oil, vinegar, and spices, or oil and other spices, and more ingredientes).
__________________________________________________________
Choice: [D]: "milk", as a liquid, is a single, well-mixed, uniform, mixture; as such, it is "homogeneous". Note: "homo-" means "same".
