Question:medium
Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Statement (I) and other one labelled as Statement (II):
Statement (I) : All surfactants are adjuvants, but all adjuvants are not surfactants.
Statement (II) : Surfactants reduce the surface tension between leaf and herbicide and encourage greater wetting of leaf surface and ensure greater penetration of herbicide through the crop canopy.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Show Hint
Remember the hierarchy: Adjuvant is the broad umbrella term (anything that helps the herbicide do its job).
Surfactant is the specific tool under this umbrella designed to reduce surface tension and make droplets "spread" instead of "bead up".
