Solution
The correct option is D surface tension The property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of its molecules is called surface tension. while washing clothes, detergents reduce the surface tension of the water molecule which causes the formation of foam and cleaning of clothes.
