Statement (A): When the temperature increases the viscosity of gases increases and the viscosity of liquids decreases.

Statement (B): Water does not wet an oily glass because cohesive force of oil is less than that of water.

Statement (C) : A liquid will wet a surface of a solid if the angle of contact is greater than 90°.
