    B Vinegar Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Explanation: Colloids are mixtures where particles of one substance are dispersed throughout another but are not dissolved. Vinegar is primarily a solution of acetic acid in water, making it a true solution rather than a colloid. Blood contains suspended cells and proteins, qualifying as a colloid. Smoke consists of solid particles dispersed in air, which is also a colloid.
