• B. Ability to scatter that beam of light
• C. Erratic zig-zag movement of protoplasmic particles

Answer 1

The correct option is A Interchangeability between sol and gel states

Protoplasm is generally found in two states - a liquid-like sol state or a jelly-like gel state. Protoplasm shows transformation between these two states and the interchangeability between sol and gel states is made possible through flocculation or coagulation of protoplasm.
