Detailed Solution

Concept: A homogeneous mixture is one in which the component proportions are the same for every sample collected, as opposed to a heterogeneous mixture, in which the component proportions change for every sample obtained.
A mixture of two or more metals, or a metal and a nonmetal, is referred to as an alloy if the proportions of all the elements utilised are consistent over the entire volume. Several examples of alloys are steel (iron and carbon), brass (copper and zinc), and bronze (copper and tin). It is possible to classify the alloy as a homogeneous mixture since the composition of the constituent materials in each given sample remains constant.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
