KCl and water would form a homogeneous solution because KCl is a soluble salt in water and will dissolve into the water to form a homogeneous mixture. The other choices would not form homogeneous solutions because they are immiscible, meaning they do not mix together to form a uniform mixture. Hexane and water, for example, are polar and nonpolar substances, respectively, and so they would not mix evenly. Similarly, oil and water are immiscible due to differences in polarity. CCl₄ is also nonpolar and would not form a homogeneous solution with water.
