Using the usual convention for the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium (dispersed phase first), which row lists all three systems correctly?

  1. AMilk: liquid in liquid; jelly: liquid in liquid; froth: gas in solid
  2. BMilk: liquid in liquid; jelly: solid in liquid; froth: gas in liquid
  3. CMilk: liquid in liquid; jelly: liquid in solid; froth: gas in liquid
  4. DMilk: solid in liquid; jelly: liquid in solid; froth: liquid in gas

Answer: C

Milk is an emulsion (liquid fat in liquid water), a jelly is a gel (liquid dispersed in a solid), and a froth is a foam (gas bubbles dispersed in a liquid). Only the first row has all three correct.
