The correct answer is A, sugar dissolved in water, as it is a clear example of a homogeneous mixture where the composition is uniform. Option B, oxygen and nitrogen gases in the air, is also a homogeneous mixture, but A is more straightforward in the context of the question. Options C and D are heterogeneous mixtures and do not represent a uniform composition.
