Solution

The correct option is C Surfactant molecules
A micelle may be defines as the cluster or aggregated particles formed by associated collides in solutions. The formation of micelle takes place above certain concentration called Critical Micellization Concentration (CMS) and above a particular temperature called Kraft Temperature $(T_{k})$ . Every micelle system has a specific value of CMC.
A fundamental property of surfactants is their ability to form micelles (colloidal sized clusters) in solution. This property is due to the presence of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups in each surfactant molecule.
