Select the statement that best describes a mixture of eggs and air while being whisked.

• The longer eggs are whisked, the more solid they become. This is because more air is being added to the mixture.

• The amount of time spent whisking eggs makes no difference to the mixture. Its properties don’t change.

• The longer eggs are whisked, the fluffier they become. This is because more air is being added to the mixture.
