Which term describes a homogenous mixture of solute and solvent?

Suspension
Solution
Emulsion
Eutectic mixture

The correct answer is: Solution

A solution is the correct term because it refers to a homogenous mixture of two substances, where one is dissolved in the other and cannot be easily separated. Suspension is not the correct answer because it refers to a mixture where the particles of one substance are temporarily suspended in another substance, but the particles will eventually settle out. Emulsion is a mixture of two immiscible substances, such as oil and water, that can be temporarily mixed together but will separate after some time. Eutectic mixture is a type of solution with a specific and unique composition that has a lower melting point than either of its individual components, making it different from a typical solution. Therefore, it is not the correct answer.
