Solution
The correct option is A fluid friction This example relates to fluid friction. Speed of spreading of a volume of liquid depends on the liquid friction.Friction offered by water is less as its density is less than oil.Fluid friction depends on density of liquid.
So oil being more dense have more friction and it moves very slowly due to more friction.
