A. cannot be subjected to shear forces
B. always expands until it fills any container
C. has the same shear stress.at a point regardless of its motion
D. cannot remain at rest under action of any shear force

the answer should be surface tension
Cohesion : The force of attraction between the molecules of a liquid by virtue of which they are bound to each other to remain as one assemblage of particles is known as the force of cohesion. This property enables the liquid to resist tensile stress.
The property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of its molecules. Here surface tension is a surface phenomenon caused by the cohesive property of liquid. So the answer id Cohesive force.
