Solution

The correct option is C both Brownian motion and electric charge
The stability of the colloidal solution is mainly due to the charge present on colloidal particles which prevent them from coming closer and coagulate with each other along with Brownian motion due to which colloidal particles keep moving always.

Hence, option $C$ is correct.
