Despite the mixture’s ______ nature, we found that by lowering its temperature in the laboratory we could dramatically reduce its tendency to vaporize
This means that the nature of the mixture must be prone to easy evaporation.
- acerbic - means acidic; does not mean it evaporates easily.
- resilient - means can be stretched easily; again does not say anything about evaporation.
- volatile - means easily evaporated at room temperature; best option here.
- heterogeneous - means composed of different components; again not telling anything about evaporation.
Correct option: C. volatile.
