Solution
The correct option is A tyndall
A colloidal solution has particles in size range of 10−7 to 10−5 cm.This size range allows the colloid particles to interact with the light particles, and hence, the light gets scattered (it deviates from its normal trajectory, which is a straight line).
This is known as tyndall effect. Due to tyndall effect it is possible to see small particles floating in a beam of light.
