The correct answer is:
decreases initially and increases again
According to law of conservation of momentum,
$$
I \omega=\text { constant }
$$
When viscous fluid of mass $m$ is dropped and start spreading out then its moment of inertia increases and angular velocity decreases. But when it start falling then its moment of inertia again starts decreasing and angular velocity increases.
