To determine which of the options are true suspensions, we first need to understand what a suspension is. A suspension is a mixture where solid particles are dispersed in a liquid or gas but are not dissolved. Over time, these particles can settle out. Let's analyze the given examples:

Examples of Suspensions

  • Fog: A mixture of tiny water droplets in air, considered a suspension.
  • Air: A homogeneous mixture of gases, not a suspension.
  • Blood: Contains cells suspended in plasma, making it a suspension.
  • Paint: Often contains pigments suspended in a liquid medium, qualifying it as a suspension.
  • Aerosol sprays: These contain tiny particles or droplets suspended in a gas, thus are suspensions.
  • Pearl: A solid object, not a suspension.

Identifying True Suspensions

From the analysis, the true suspensions are:

  • Fog (I)
  • Blood (III)
  • Paint (IV)
  • Aerosol sprays (V)

Correct Answer

The correct option that includes true suspensions is (B) III, IV, V, which includes Blood, Paint, and Aerosol sprays.
