    D. Surface tension.

    Explanation:

    Surface tension is defined as the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a unit amount.

    The surface tension of a liquid results from an imbalance of intermolecular attractive forces, the cohesive forces between molecules:

    A molecule in a liquid experiences cohesive forces with other molecules in all directions while molecules at the surface of a liquid experiences only net inward cohesive forces.
