How are detergents called?

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) Soapless soaps.
· Detergents are often referred to as "soapless soaps" because, unlike traditional soaps, they are synthetic cleaning agents. They are made from petrochemicals or oleochemicals and are designed to perform well in hard water, where traditional soap can form scum.
· Detergents can clean effectively in a variety of water conditions, which makes them more versatile compared to traditional soaps.
