Choose the correct answers from the options given.
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
A
Explanation
When the temperature of a liquid is increased, its surface tension generally decreases. This is because as the temperature rises, the kinetic energy of the molecules in the liquid also increases, causing them to move more vigorously and reducing the cohesive forces that create surface tension.
