The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Brownian Movement**: Brownian movement refers to the random, zigzag motion of particles suspended in a fluid (liquid or gas). This phenomenon is a result of collisions between the suspended particles and the molecules of the fluid. 2. **Historical Context**: The term "Brownian movement" is named after the British botanist Robert Brown, who first observed this motion in pollen grains suspended in water in 1827. 3. **Identifying the Medium**: Brownian movement is typically observed in colloidal solutions. Colloids are mixtures where tiny particles are dispersed throughout a continuous medium, and these particles are small enough to remain suspended and exhibit Brownian motion. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1: Colloidal Solution**: This is the correct answer since Brownian motion is characteristic of colloidal particles. - **Option 2: Solid Suspension**: This is incorrect because while solid suspensions contain solid particles in a liquid, they do not exhibit Brownian movement in the same way colloidal solutions do. - **Option 3: True Solution**: This is also incorrect. True solutions have solute particles that are too small to exhibit Brownian movement. - **Option 4: Unsaturated Fatty Acid**: This option is not relevant to Brownian movement as it refers to a type of fat and does not pertain to particle motion in a fluid. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis of the options, the correct answer is that Brownian movement is found in colloidal solutions. **Final Answer**: Brownian movement is found in colloidal solutions. ---
