The correct answer is: True solution is a heterogenous mixture of two or more substances with fixed composition.
A true solution is a homogeneous mixture with consistent properties. Filtration cannot separate the solute from the solution in a true solution. The solute's particle size is around the same as the solvent's, and the solvent and solute move through the filter paper together.
A true solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in which the particle size of the material dissolved (solute) in the solvent is less than $10-9 \mathrm{~m}$ or $1 \mathrm{~nm}$. True solution is exemplified by a simple sugar solution in water.
