surface tension ..viscosity is the thickness of a liquid, doesn't fit here...condensation and evaporation are processes not properties.

Answer : The correct option is, surface tension.

Explanation :

Viscosity : It is defined as the resistance of a liquid to flowing.

Condensation : It is a physical process in which a phase of matter converted from gas phase to liquid phase.

Evaporation : It is a process in which a phases changes from liquid phase to gas phase.

Surface tension : It is defined as a force present within the layer of a liquid that causes the layer act as an elastic sheet.

Therefore, the surface of water can act like a sort of skin due to a property of liquids called surface tension.
