Solution
The correct option is B gas-gas A solid-solid combination can be considered as a colloidal solution and the nature of the solution is solid sol. For example, colorful stone.
A liquid-liquid solution can be considered as a colloidal solution and the nature of the solution is an emulsion. Example, milk
A liquid-gas combination can be considered as a colloidal solution and the nature of the solution is aerosol. For example, cloud.
A gas-gas combination can not be considered as a colloidal solution because this is homogeneous mixture and a colloidal solution is always a heterogeneous mixture.
