Solution

The correct answer is D. Water molecules at the surface of the liquid phase experience an overall attractive force towards water molecules in the bulk liquid. This is due to the phenomenon known as surface tension, where molecules at the surface of a liquid are pulled inwards by the cohesive forces of the molecules in the bulk of the liquid. This results in a net inward force on the surface molecules, causing the liquid to behave as if it is covered by a stretched elastic sheet.
