When you pour honey into a bowl, it flows smoothly. If you did the same with water, it would splash. These different behaviors occur because honey's high
A) viscosity keeps it flowing smoothly while water's low viscosity allows inertia to break its flow into many separate pieces.
B) momentum keeps it moving in a straight line while water's low momentum allows it to turn abruptly in many different directions.
C) density keeps it flowing smoothly while water's low density allows it to float upward and splash about.
D) mass keeps it flowing smoothly while water's low mass allows it to acquire lots of angular momentum.

Honey's high viscosity means it flows more slowly and smoothly, resisting sudden movements, while water's low viscosity means it can easily be disrupted and splash.
