Solution

The correct option is D Brownian motion
There are continuous collisions between the colloidal particles and molecules of dispersion medium which are in constant motion and passes kinetic energy to colloidal particles by striking it from all sides
This results in zigzag movement of colloidal particles. This zigzag movement of colloidal particles is known as the Brownian movement.
