When a small steel ball bearing falls through glycerine it quickly reaches a terminal velocity. This happens because the

  1. (A)viscous drag reduces to zero
  2. (B)upthrust on the ball bearing equals the viscous drag
  3. (C)weight of the ball bearing equals the upthrust acting on it
  4. (D)viscous drag increases as the velocity of the ball bearing increases

The answer is shown once you've answered.
