Solution

The correct option is C The liquid won't fall down as there is no gravity in space
As there is no gravity in space, no gravitational force acts on the object kept in space. So, the object does not move downwards. When we pour a liquid in a cup kept in space, the liquid does not fall downwards to fill the cup because of zero gravity in the space.
