Answer

Brief Explanations:

A substance is a pure form of matter. An element is a pure substance made of one - type of atom. A compound is a pure substance made of different types of atoms chemically combined. A homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition throughout. A heterogeneous mixture has a non - uniform composition and distinct parts. The bottle has water and dirt which are not chemically combined and have distinct phases (clear water and settled dirt), so it is a heterogeneous mixture.

Answer:

C. heterogeneous mixture
