(Choice C, Checked, Correct)
CORRECT (SELECTED)
Surface tension allows water to support small objects if they are placed carefully on its surface.
Surface tension is the tendency of a liquid’s surface to resist rupture when placed under tension or stress. If a small object is placed carefully on its surface, the tension created by the hydrogen bonds in the water can often prevent the object from sinking.
