D should be the correct option.
Reason: Both of the options do not clearly point out the reason to use detergents.
Like Detergents form a lather, and dislodges dirt or grease but so does soap. If there was a statement that soaps are harsh on clothes and detergent is mild then the statement could be justified.

I think the answer for this q would be both I and ii i.e. (e). Because for (i) to clean a cloth, the detergent should generate lather. (ii) detergent obviously help in removing grease and dirt.

D should be correct answer as it is nowhere mentioned that detergents cleans clothes better and more easily.

The correct answer is C.
Because as it is not given that the detergent is good and it will properly remove all the dirt and grease.
