To support the claim that orange juice is a heterogeneous mixture, the best observation would be that the juice has visible pulp and separates when left to stand. In a heterogeneous mixture, the components can be physically distinguished, and they do not mix uniformly.

Specifically, if the student observes that the juice contains visible bits of pulp, and if the pulp settles at the bottom of the glass over time, this illustrates that the orange juice is a heterogeneous mixture, as it consists of different components (juice and pulp) that remain separate rather than forming a uniform substance.
