D

Verified Answer :

I'm Pretty Sure The Answer Is A.

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A mixture is defined as the substance that contains two or more different number of substances which are physically mixed together.

For example, a mixture of mud and water can be separated through the process of filtration.

A pure substance is defined as the substance which contains either same or different type of atoms that are chemically combined to each other in a fixed ratio by mass.

For example, both \(Cl_{2}\) and \(MgSO_{4}\) are pure substances.

A pure substance can only be separated by chemical means.

Thus, we can conclude that one difference between mixtures and pure substances is that mixtures can be physically separated.
