Solution
In a w/o type emulsion, water acts as the dispersed phase while the oil as dispersion medium.
Explanation:
In water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions, tiny water droplets are dispersed throughout a continuous oil phase. Hence, water is the dispersed phase and oil forms the dispersion medium, making the emulsion stable, with oil as the continuous phase and water as the dispersed phase.
