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 it lowers the surface tension of water. This allows the water to more easily penetrate the fabric and remove dirt and oil.

Option A is incorrect because soap does not act like a catalyst. A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed by the reaction. Soap does not speed up the chemical reaction of cleaning, but it does make it more effective.

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

Option D is incorrect because soap does not absorb the dirt. Soap helps to loosen dirt and oil from the fabric so that it can be rinsed away with water.
