Solution

The correct option is A True
Emulsion is a type of colloid
Colloids are mixtures that are having 1-1000 nm sized particles dispersed in the medium
Depending on the states of dispersed phase and dispersion medium, different colloids are present
In an emulsion, dispersed phase and dispersion medium are in liquid states
Thus we can say that emlusion is a mixture of two immiscible liquids
Milk is an example of emulsion where the fat globules are dispersed in the water medium
Thus, the given statement is true. i.e.., an emulsion is a mixture of two immiscible liquids
