Explanation

R is the mixture because it is made by dissolving sugar in water, combining two substances physically. The sugar and water retain their identities and can be separated, unlike a pure substance formed through a chemical composition or process. Therefore, the substance formed by adding 5 g of sugar to 1 L of water is the most likely mixture.
