Which one of the following statements is incorrect regarding the effect of detergent on the surface tension of water?
(a)The height of the solution in capillary with detergent is less than that of the pure water.
(b)The surface tension of pure water is more than the surface tension of a detergent solution.
(c)The increase in the concentration of the detergent results in increasing the height of the solution in the capillary.
(d)The detergent solution for which the capillary rise is the minimum is the best detergent.
