Q.1) i think a bit differently.

Actually, peptization is the dispersion of the precipitated material into colloidal solution. So, it involves first adsorption of the suitable ions and electrically charged particles then split frm precipitate as colloidal particles.
thus , its c) disintegration of the dispersed phase.
