Answer: The correct answer is Heterogeneous mixture Explanation: Heterogeneous mixture are those mixture in which: Substance is distributed in non uniform manner. Two distinct layers are formed Thus when water and dirt are mixed together it results in the formation of a heterogeneous mixture and after sometimes two different layers will be observed.
