Lyophobic Colloids -

The word lyophobic means liquid hating substances like metals, their sulphides, etc. when simply mixed with the dispersion medium do not form the colloidal solution.

Such solutions are called lyophobic colloids as there is very less affinity between the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium.

Lyophilic sols on the other hand are stable because there is effective solvation of the solute particles by the solvent molecules because of the affinity between them. 

Hence, the correct answer is Option (3)
