The correct answer is A solid in gas.

Concept:

• A system made up of a substance distributed or scattered as minute particles of solid droplets of a liquid or extremely tiny bubbles of gas into the body of another substance is called a dispersion system.
• A dispersion system is a two-phase system.
• The distributed substance is called the dispersed phase and the continuous medium around it is called the dispersion medium.
• Depending upon the particle size of the dispersed phase, the dispersion system may be classified as 1. True solutions 2. Colloidal solutions 3. Suspensions.

Explanation:

Classification of colloids based on the type of phases:

• The colloidal system is heterogeneous in nature and consists of two phases called the dispersion medium and the dispersed phase.
