Why is a liquid drop spherical in shape ?

Assertion (A) Liquids tend to have maximum number of molecules at their surface. Reason (R) Small liquid drops have spherical shape.

Generally liquid drops assume spherical shape because

Statement I: Small liquid drops assume sphereical shape. Statement II: Due to surface tension liquid drops tend to have minimum surface area.

Assertion : The drop of a liquid is always spherical or nearly spherical. Reason : Water is not a viscous liquid.

In the absence of any external force, liquid drop are sperical in shape. It is due to
