The correct answer is - the emulsifying substances will get separated.
An emulsion is a mixture which is formed when two immiscible liquids are dissolved together in order to form a single emulsifying agent.
When an emulsion is centrifuged, it gets subjected to high centrifugal force. The revolutions are caused at very high speeds. This leads to the separation of demulsifying of the two immiscible liquids. The liquid which is lighter or that is less dense will get separated and float on the top and the denser liquid will remain down.
For example, a mixture of water and oil forms an emulsion. When this emulsion is subjected to centrifugation, the two liquids will get separated. The water will stay at the bottom and the oil will be on the top. The phospholipid layer separated in the centrifugation process will appear in between the aqueous and oily phases.
