The best description of the type of mixture formed between solid cereal and liquid milk is:
**A heterogeneous mixture that allows for easy separation of components.**
Implications for the physical properties of the resulting combination include that the cereal remains distinct within the milk, allowing for easy separation if desired. The cereal will not dissolve in the milk, and the components can often be seen and identified individually. This contrasts with a homogeneous mixture, where the components are uniformly distributed and not easily separable.
