An emulsion mixes readily with water in all proportions and conducts electric current well when electrodes are dipped in it. It is most likely:

Aan oil-in-water emulsion
Ba foam
Ca water-in-oil emulsion
Da gel

Answer: A

Mixing freely with water and conducting current show that water (with dissolved ions) is the continuous phase. The emulsion is therefore oil in water.
