Assertion : Smaller drops of liquid resist deforming forces better than the larger drops. Reason : Excess pressure inside a drop is directly proportional to its surface area.

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

The excess pressure inside the small drop is large as compared to the large drop because of which smaller drop of liquid resists deforming force better than the large drop. Excess pressure where surface tension radius of liquid drop. Therefore excess pressure is inversely proportional to its radius and hence the surface area.
