Hard water _.

  1. Contains more minerals

  2. Forms lather easily

  3. Is soft on skin

  4. Does not lather easily

The correct answer is: Does not lather easily

Hard water does not lather easily because it contains a high concentration of minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. These minerals form a film when mixed with soap, preventing it from lathering. This is why option A, that hard water contains more minerals, is incorrect. Option B, that it forms lather easily, is incorrect because the opposite is true for hard water. Option C, that it is soft on skin, is incorrect because hard water can actually dry out skin due to its high mineral content.
