C Correct answer
Explanation

Macromolecular colloidal particles are formed when on dissolution in a suitable solvent, the macromolecules have sizes which are in the colloidal range. Naturally occurring macromolecules are starch, proteins and cellulose. Man made macromolecules are polymers such as polyethylene, nylon and polystyrene. These colloids are quite stable and resemble true solutions in many respects.
