Step-by-step solution
Emulsions are colloidal systems in which both the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium are liquids. In a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion, water is the dispersed phase and oil is the dispersion medium. Butter is an example of a water-in-oil emulsion, where water is dispersed in fat (oil). Milk and vanishing cream are examples of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, where oil is dispersed in water. Answer: Butter
