Soap helps in better cleaning of clothes because A. Soap acts like catalyst B. It reduces the surface tension of solution C. It gives strength to solution D. It absorbs the dirt

The correct answer is: B. It reduces the surface tension of solution.

Soap is a surfactant, which means that it lowers the surface tension of water. This allows the water to more easily penetrate the fabric and surround the dirt particles, making them easier to rinse away.

Option A is incorrect because soap

does not act like a catalyst. A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without itself being consumed. Soap does not do this.

Option C is incorrect because soap does not give strength to solution. Soap is a surfactant, which means that it lowers the surface tension of water. This does not make the solution stronger.

Option D is incorrect because soap does not absorb the dirt. Soap surrounds the dirt particles and makes them easier to rinse away, but it does not absorb them.
