Solution

The correct option is B

lathering soap


When soap is used with water it forms the lather. If calcium or magnesium ions are present in water (hardness) they tend to form scum with soap and as a result, lather formed is lower than that compared to soft water. Hence, the hardness of water can be detected by lathering soap.
