Answer:

E = Surface Tension

Explanation:

Insects are able to walk on water mainly due to surface tension. The insects legs have a very large surface area on their legs which enables them to walk on water. Another factor is their extremely light weight which enables them to exert a force on the surface of the water without breaking its film (surface area).
