Blood is considered a suspension because it is a heterogeneous mixture of solid particles, non dissolved red and white blood cells, platelets, and proteins of various sizes and shapes, suspended in a solution. It contains a solution, but is not a solution where everything would be dissolved, i.e. homogeneous.

Blood is considered a suspension because it consists of a liquid component (plasma) and various solid components (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets) that do not dissolve in the plasma.

Both. The blood that circulates through your body is mostly water, which contains many dissolved compounds. However, blood also contains cells and other undissolved particles that remain in suspension as the blood moves through the body.
