The correct option is (A) Heterogeneous and shows Tyndall effect.

The mixture of sulfur and carbon disulfide is a heterogeneous mixture because it contains two different substances that do not dissolve in each other. The sulfur and carbon disulfide will exist as separate phases within the mixture.

The Tyndall effect refers to the scattering of light by particles in a colloid or suspension. In this case, since the mixture is heterogeneous, it means that the sulfur and carbon disulfide particles will be dispersed and not dissolved completely. These dispersed particles will scatter light, causing the Tyndall effect. Therefore, the mixture of sulfur and carbon disulfide will show the Tyndall effect.

Therefore, the correct answer is (A) Heterogeneous and shows Tyndall effect.
