Step-by-step solution
A dispersion of one liquid in another immiscible liquid is called an emulsion. Since the dispersed phase is liquid and the dispersion medium is also liquid (water), it fits the definition of an emulsion, which is a type of colloidal system. Other options: Aerosol (solid or liquid dispersed in gas), Foam (gas dispersed in liquid or solid), Gel (liquid dispersed in solid).
