Answer 1

The correct option is A sol

The components of the colloidal solution are dispersed phase and dispersed medium. Dispersed particles (solute like a component) in a colloid form a dispersed phase and the component in which dispersed phase particles are suspended is called dispersing medium.

Depending upon the physical state of the dispersed phase and dispersed medium the type of colloid is decided. Colloids in which dispersed phase is solid and dispersing medium is liquid is called $\text{Sol}$.

For example Milk of magnesia, mud, etc.
