Solution

The correct option is B Coagulation
  • The process of settling of colloidal particles is called coagulation or precipitation of the sol.
  • River water is a colloidal solution of clay. Seawater contains a number of electrolytes. When river water meets the sea water, the electrolytes present in seawater coagulate the colloidal solution of clay resulting in its deposition with the formation of a delta.
