Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Statement I and the other is labelled as Statement II:

Statement I: Viscosity of gases is greater than that of liquids.

Statement II: Surface tension of a liquid decreases due to the presence of insoluble impurities.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. Option A:

    Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect

  2. Option B:

    Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

  3. Option C:

    Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect

  4. Option D:

    Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
