I have been asked this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

I want to ask this question from Size Reduction topic in section Size Reduction of Food Processing Unit Operations

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) Water in oil

To explain I would say: In every emulsion there is a continuous phase that suspends the droplets of the other element which is known as dispersed phase. In water-in-oil emulsion, the continuous phase is the oil and the dispersed phase is the water.
