Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Both \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{R}\) are correct but \(\mathrm{R}\) is not the correct explanation of \(A\).

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The aggregate of carboxylate ions of fatty acids forms a spherical shape known as micelle. Soap is emulsifier because it reduces surface tension and it can emulsify fats and oils by forming micelles around oil droplets. Hence, both A and R are correct but R is not the correct…
