The observation that best supports the claim that the juice is a heterogeneous mixture is: The last sip of the juice tastes stronger than the first sips.

This indicates that the composition of the juice is not uniform throughout, which is a characteristic of heterogeneous mixtures. In contrast, if all regions of the juice appeared identical, it would suggest that the mixture is homogeneous.
