Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Fact: The surface tension of liquid decreases with increase of temperature.
As the temperature of the liquid increases the surface tension and viscosity of liquid decrease which decreases the fluid tendency to hold molecules at higher angle of contact.
So assertion is correct while reason is incorrect.
