CSoil and water is a colloid because it has a uniform composition. Milk is a suspension because it doesn’t have a uniform composition.

DSoil and water is a suspension because it consists of larger particles suspended in the medium, which start to settle when allowed to stand. Milk is a colloid because it consists of minute particles that remain suspended in the medium.

ESoil and water is a suspension because it has a uniform composition. Milk is a colloid because it doesn’t have a uniform composition.
