AIIMS 2019 Physics Surface Tension Assertion Reason Question

Option B is correct because the assertion accurately describes how cohesive forces among H₂O molecules cause water drops to adhere to glass surfaces, while the reason correctly identifies that surface tension leads to the formation of spherical shapes to minimize surface area. However, the reason does not explain the adhesion to glass, which is primarily due to adhesive forces between water and the glass surface. Option A is incorrect because, while both statements are true, the reason does not adequately explain the assertion. Options C and D are incorrect as both the assertion and reason are indeed true.
