Choose the incorrect statement in the following

Options

A. Surface tension is the force acting per unit length perpendicular to the line drawn on the surface of the liquid
B. Surface tension of a liquid increases with increase in temperature
C. The SI unit of surface tension is `J m^(-2)`
D. Viscosity is a measure of resistance for the flow of liquid

Answer

B

Explanation

As the intermolecular forces of attraction decrease with the rise in temperature, the surface tension of a liquid, thus decreases with increase in temperature.
