Pancake syrup taken out of the refrigerator will be difficult to pour because low temperature increases viscosity.

The answer would be A. True. This is because of friction. Liquids, have friction, too, not just against solids (for example, water against a drinking glass)—but also internal friction, the liquid against itself. This internal friction is called viscosity. Different liquids have different viscosities, which means some liquids flow more easily than others. You will notice this if you think about squirting water out of a bottle or squirt gun. Imagine how much harder that would be to do with cold syrup! I hope this helped!
