Detailed Solution

The critical micelle concentration (CMC) in colloidal systems is the level of surfactant concentration above which micelles form and all further surfactants added to the system produce micelles.
Chain length has an impact on CMC. The CMC is smaller the longer the hydrocarbon tail chain is. Among all,

CH3CH215N+CH33Br most extensive carbon chain. It therefore has the lowest CMC.
