Sodium stearate $\mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_{16} \mathrm{COO}^{-} \mathrm{Na}^{+}$is an anionic surfactant which forms micelles in oil. Choose the correct statement for it from the following :
Select the correct option:
A
It forms spherical micelles with $\mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_{16}$ - group pointing towards the centre of sphere.
B
It forms non-spherical micelles with-COO- group pointing outwards on the surface.
C
It forms spherical micelles with $\mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_{16}$ - group pointing outwards on the surface of sphere
D
It forms non-spherical micelles with $\mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_{16}$ - group pointing towards the centre.
