D. sugar is NOT a mixture. Sugar (sucrose) is a compound, which means it is made up of specific chemical elements (carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen) that are chemically bonded together. The other options—saltwater, air, and soil—are all mixtures, as they consist of different substances that can be physically separated.
