Solution

The correct option is B
Beaker A contains hard water and beaker B contains soft water

The water present in different natural sources has different substances dissolved in it. It has been found that water drawn from certain sources forms a lather easily. Such water is called soft water.

Water obtained from some other sources does not easily form a lather with soap, rather it forms a white sticky scum or a precipitate. This water is called hard water.
