Solution

The correct option is A Peptization
The process of converting a precipitate into colloidal sol by shaking with dispersion medium in the presence of a small amount of electrolyte​ is called peptization.

Process of peptization:
The precipitate adsorbs electrolyte ​ions on its surface​. This causes the development of positive or negative charge on precipitates,​ which ultimately break up into smaller particles of colloid size.​
Example:
Freshly precipitated Fe(OH)3 ​is shaken with aqueous ​solution of FeCl3.​
