Classification of colloids based on type of particles of the dispersed phase:

  1. Multimolecular colloids
  2. Macromolecular colloids
  3. Associated colloids

Macromolecular colloids 
Macromolecules in suitable solvents form solutions in which the size of the macromolecules may be in the colloidal range.
Stability: These colloids are quite stable and resemble true solutions in many respects.
Examples include starch, cellulose, proteins, enzymes, polythene, nylon, polystyrene, synthetic rubber, etc.

Hence option 3 is correct.
