Answer:

E. a fluid's resistance to flowing

Step-by-step explanation:

Viscosity, also known as "thickness" is a rheological property that describes a fluid's resistance to flowing, fluids of low viscosity, like water, flow more easily while high viscosity fluids, like mud, are harder to move through. It is an important property because it determines the energy required to make a certain fluid flow.
