Solution

The correct option is A

It will be easier to walk after the spilling


In order to walk, we push the ground in the backward direction with our feet. The force of friction pushes us in the forward direction and allows us to walk. The force of friction between the ground and our feet decreases when there is soapy water spilled on the floor. Hence, it is difficult to walk on the soapy floor.
