Solution

The correct options are
A An emulsifier stabilizes the emulsion
C Emulsifier forms a thin film around the droplets of dispersed phase
D Milk is emulsion of fat in water.
Milk is an emulsion with fat dispersed in water
Emulsifiers are those which are added to emulsions and can stabilize them by forming a thin film around every drop of dispersed phase and thus prevent both the liquid layers coming together.
So from the options given A,B,C are correct statements.
