Solution

The correct option is C Colloidal formation
River water is a colloidal solution of clay and sea. Water contains various electrolytes. When river water comes in contact with sea water, then the electrolytes present in sea water coagulate the suspended colloidal particles which ultimately settle down at the point of contact.
