Solution

(i) Lyophobic sol is protected.

(iii) Film of lyophilic sol is formed over lyophobic sol.

Explanation:

Lyophilic colloids have a unique property of protecting lyophobic colloids. When a lyophilic sol is added to the lyophobic sol, the lyophilic particles form a layer around lyophobic particles and thus protect the latter from electrolytes. Lyophilic colloids used for this purpose are called protective colloid.
