Best answer
Correct option is (c) Viscous fluid

The explanation is: The equation described by Navier- Stokes is for a viscous fluid. The balanced equation arises from Newton’s Second Law of fluid motion. It assumes that the stress in the fluid is equal to the sum of a diffusing viscous term and a pressure term.
