Solution

The correct option is B CMC
The CMC or critical micelle concentration of surfactants depends on the most crucial factor that is strong water interaction, the hydrophobic effect. This was discovered by Shaw in the year of 1980.

The nonpolar interaction in the centre of the micelle does not provide the thermodynamic energy required for micelle formation.
