    A mixture of two immiscible liquids A and B forms an emulsion. The interfacial tension between A and B is γ\gamma. A surfactant is added to stabilize the emulsion. Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding the effect of the surfactant on γ\gamma and the stability of the emulsion?

    A

    The surfactant decreases γ\gamma, increasing the emulsion's stability.

    B

    The surfactant increases γ\gamma, increasing the emulsion's stability.

    C

    The surfactant decreases γ\gamma, decreasing the emulsion's stability.

    D

    The surfactant increases γ\gamma, decreasing the emulsion's stability.
