Which formulation category includes granules as a component?

• A. Granules (G)
• B. Oil solubles
• C. Invert emulsions
• D. Emulsifiable concentrates

Answer: (A)

Granules are a solid, particulate formulation where the active ingredient is incorporated into a carrier to form discrete granules. This format is chosen for easy handling, uniform application, and sometimes controlled release. The category that includes granules as its defining form is the Granules category. The other listed types describe liquids or emulsions—oil solubles have the active dissolved in oil, invert emulsions are water-in-oil emulsions, and emulsifiable concentrates are liquids that form emulsions when mixed with water. Because granules are a solid particle-based formulation, they belong to the Granules category rather than the liquid-based ones.
