Which outcome occurs when a surfactant increases emulsion stability?

A)Reduced interfacial surface tension appears
B)Increased droplet coalescence increases
C)Ostwald ripening accelerates considerably
D)Gravity segregation rate increases sharply

💡 Explanation

Reduced interfacial surface tension results from the **Marangoni effect**. This stabilizes emulsion droplets because local concentration changes induce surface tension gradients, therefore stabilizing, rather than coalescence happening because Ostwald ripening/gravity worsens without it.
