Solution

The correct option is C Two
The components of a colloidal solution are the dispersed phase and the dispersing medium. The solute like component or the dispersed particles in a colloid form the dispersed phase, and the component (in large amount) in which the dispersed phase is distributed is known as the dispersing medium.
Thus, colloids are classified according to the state of the dispersing medium and the dispersed phase.
