Applications of Colloids
1. Purification of Drinking water: Water obtained from natural sources contains suspended impurities. Alum is added to coagulate the suspended impurities and to make water fit for drinking.

2. Tanning: Animal hides are colloidal in nature. When a hide (positively charged) is soaked in tannin which contains negatively charged colloids, mutual coagulation occurs, and leather hardens.

3. Rubber industry: Latex is a colloidal solution of rubber particles which are negatively charged.

4. Formation of delta: These are prepared by coating an emulsion of the light sensitive silver bromide in gelatine over glass plates or celluloid films.

5. Industrial products: Paints, ink, synthetic plastics, rubber, graphite lubricants, cement etc.

Hence option 1 is correct.
