Solution

The correct option is D colloidal particles
Tyndall effect is scattering of light by particles in a colloidal mixture. When rays of light pass through a colloidal fluid, the tiny particles get illuminated due to scattering. Because of this, the path of light is made visible. The intensity of scattering depends on the size of particles in the colloids.
