A: Kerosene Oil spreads out over water surface
R: Surface tension is a surface phenomenon
R: Surface tension is a surface phenomenon
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
A is true but R is false
Option C is correct. Kerosene oil spreads on water due to lower surface tension, but surface tension itself is a bulk phenomenon, not just a surface one.
