What is a solution in chemistry?

  1. A mixture of immiscible substances

  2. A uniform mixture of two or more mutually miscible substances

  3. A type of colloidal suspension

  4. A mixture where substances are not evenly distributed

The correct answer is: A uniform mixture of two or more mutually miscible substances

In chemistry, a solution is defined as a uniform mixture of two or more mutually miscible substances. This means that the components of a solution are evenly distributed at a molecular level. Unlike options A, C, and D, which describe mixtures that are not consistent with the definition of a solution, option B accurately represents the fundamental characteristic of a solution in chemistry.
