Solution

The correct option is C dispersed
Colloidal solutions have small microscopic particles dispersed in a medium. This component of a colloid comprising of small particles is known as the dispersed phase.
While the medium (present in a relatively major amount) in which particles are distributed is known as the dispersion medium.
Milk is a type of 'liquid in liquid' colloid, also known as emulsion. Fat is the dispersed phase while water is the dispersion medium.
