Concept:An alloy is a homogeneous mixture of metals formed in the solid state.Explanation:An alloy is made by melting two or more metals together and then cooling the mixture to a solid.In this solid solution, atoms of different elements are uniformly distributed within the crystal structure.Examples: brass ($\mathrm{Cu}$ and $\mathrm{Zn}$), bronze ($\mathrm{Cu}$ and $\mathrm{Sn}$), and steel ($\mathrm{Fe}$ and $\mathrm{C}$).Therefore, the alloy is a solution of one solid in another solid.Answer:Option D: Solid in solid.
