Best answer
The correct answer is (b) Dispersed

The explanation is: The dispersed structure has face-to-face contact in an approximately parallel manner having a lesser void ratio. Thus they have highly compressibility and less permeability. Whereas, the flocculent structures have low compressibility and high permeability.
