Aperson uses a spoon to eat a certain food. each spoonful tastes slightly different from the one before it. the food is most likely a compound a heterogeneous mixture an element a homogeneous mixture

Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A mixture that consists of two or more components in a solution which are distributed in non-uniform composition is known as a heterogeneous mixture.

For example, mud in water is a heterogeneous mixture.

Components of a mixture never combine chemically with each other.

A compound is a substance that contains two or more elements which are chemically combined to each other. For example, is a compound.

An element is a substance that contains same atoms. For example, element copper will have only atoms of copper.

A mixture in which solute particles completely dissolve in the solvent throughout the solution is known as a homogeneous mixture.

For example, sugar in water is a homogeneous mixture.

Thus, we can conclude that a person uses a spoon to eat a certain food. each spoonful tastes slightly different from the one before it. the food is most likely a heterogeneous mixture.
