Solution

The correct option is C Dispersion as well as condensation of metal particles
Electrical disintegration method is also known as Bredig's arc method.
Colloidal sols of metals such as gold, silver, platinum, etc.,​ are prepared by this method.
This process involves both dispersion & condensation.
Here, the electric arc is struck between metal electrodes immersed in ​the dispersion medium​.
The intense heat produced vapourises the metal (dispersion), which then condenses to form particles of colloidal size.
Thus, option (c) is the correct answer.
