The correct answer is: $ < 90^{\circ}$
For a hydrophilic surface, the contact angle at
the water solid interface is less than $90^{\circ}$ i.e., $ < 90^{\circ}$. Since, adhesive force between liquid and hydrophilic surface is very high. Hence, the value of contact angle should be less than $90^{\circ}$.
