Detailed Solution

Volume remain same.
The surface area of the liquid increases when a drop of liquid is sprayed into a lot of droplets.
The molecules from the liquid's interior ascend to the surface of the drops during this process, working against the cohesive force.
Area increases when a liquid drop divides into several drops. Energy is absorbed since it is needed to increase the surface area.

Hence the correct answer is b, c are correct.
