A mixture made up of only one phase is
A
homogeneous
B
heterogeneous
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What is a Homogeneous Mixture? A homogeneous mixture is a gaseous, liquid or solid mixture that has the same proportions of its components throughout a given sample. It is uniform in composition throughout. There is only one phase of matter observed in a homogeneous mixture.

Detailed explanation-2: -By definition, a pure substance or a homogeneous mixture consists of a single phase. A heterogeneous mixture consists of two or more phases. When oil and water are combined, they do not mix evenly, but instead form two separate layers. Each of the layers is called a phase.

Detailed explanation-3: -There is no physical boundary between the components in homogeneous mixtures, so they appear as a single homogeneous phase. Unlike heterogenous mixtures, which have distinct boundaries between its constituents. Hence, homogenous mixtures have only one phase.

Detailed explanation-4: -These mixtures are uniform throughout and only one phase of matter in a homogenous mixture. The homogenous mixture consists of solid, liquid, or gaseous mixture which has the same proportions throughout the sample. Hence, the homogenous mixture in which the components cannot be distinguished.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are two main categories of mixtures: homogeneous mixtures and heterogeneous mixtures. In a homogenous mixture all the substances are evenly distributed throughout the mixture (salt water, air, blood).
