The correct classification of a mixture in which both a solid and a liquid are visible is:

a heterogeneous mixture and a suspension.

In a suspension, solid particles are dispersed within a liquid but will settle over time if not continuously mixed, and different phases (solid and liquid) can be observed. In contrast, a homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition throughout, and a solution is a type of homogeneous mixture where one substance is completely dissolved in another.
