Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Liquid dishwashing detergents are non-ionic type. Nonionic detergents do not contain any ion in their constitution. These remove grease and oil by micelle formation
Other two classes of detergents are anionic detergents and cationic detergents. Anionic detergents are sodium salts of sulphonated long chain alcohols or hydrocarbons

They are mostly used for household work. Cationic detergents are quaternary ammonium salts of amines with acetates, chlorides or bromides as anions. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide is a popular cationic detergent and is used in hair conditioners.
