Correct Answer: It reduces the surface tension of the solution


Solution : The correct option is It reduce the surface tension of the solution .

Soaps can dissolve the grease and oil that hold dirt in place, and they are efficient cleaners. They allow the solution to moisten objects more evenly by lowering its surface tension. The surfactants used in detergents increase water's capacity to moisten objects, cover surfaces, and penetrate the fibres of soiled clothing. The molecules of the surfactant aid water in grabbing hold of the grease, dissolving it and washing it away.
