Answer: A. Meniscus

Explanation: Meniscus refers to the arch in the very surface of a liquid that is narrowly contained (held in a narrow container.) It is caused by surface tension. It can arch inwards (this is called concave) or outwards (convex) depending on what liquid is contained.

Hope this was helpful! Let me know if you have any further questions. :)
