Winglets reduce drag by:

Increasing wing area significantly

Eliminating interference drag

Reducing parasite drag

Reducing the strength of wingtip vortices, thereby decreasing induced drag

Correct

Explanation

Winglets weaken the wingtip vortices by blocking the high-pressure air from curling over the tip, reducing induced drag.
