The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options is a natural colloidal, we need to understand what a colloid is and identify the nature of each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Colloids**: - A colloid is a mixture where one substance is dispersed evenly throughout another. The particles in a colloid are larger than those in a solution but smaller than those in a suspension. Colloidal particles typically range from 1 nanometer to 1 micrometer in size. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Sodium Chloride (NaCl)**: This is a salt that, when dissolved in water, forms a true solution. It does not form a colloidal system. - **Urea**: Urea is a small organic molecule that also dissolves in water to form a true solution, not a colloid. - **Cane Sugar**: Similar to NaCl and urea, cane sugar dissolves in water to form a true solution and does not create a colloidal system. - **Blood**: Blood is a complex fluid that contains various components, including cells (like red blood cells and white blood cells) and proteins suspended in plasma. This makes blood a natural colloid. 3. **Conclusion**: - Among the options provided, **blood** is the only natural colloidal substance. The other options (sodium chloride, urea, and cane sugar) are all examples of substances that form true solutions when dissolved in water. ### Final Answer: **Blood is a natural colloidal.** ---
