Q.  
Fluids that require a gradually increasing shear stress to maintain a constant strain rate are known as


Answer & Explanation

Viscosity of thixotropic fluids decreases with duration of stress, thus to maintain constant rate of shear strain, the fluid requires increasing shear stress.

Thus correct option is: B.
