Which statement best explains why wettable

Multiple choice — select the best answer

AThe emulsifier breaks down rapidly, causing the oil phase to separate
BThe solid particles are not dissolved and will settle out due to gravity
CThe active ingredient volatilizes quickly if not kept in suspension
DThe pH of the mixture changes if agitation stops

✓ Correct answer: B. The solid particles are not dissolved and will settle out due to gravity WP formulations contain solid particles suspended in water rather than dissolved. Without continuous agitation, gravity causes these particles to settle to the bottom of the tank, resulting in uneven application rates.
