Assertion : The shape of a liquid drop is spherical.
Reason : The pressure inside the drop is greater than that of outside.

Answer

(b) The free surface of liquid tries to acquire a minimum area due to surface tension, hence liquid drop is spherical because sphere has minimum area than other shape.
