Capillary action is the result of which of the following? a. cohesive and adhesive properties of water b. cohesion between water and other molecules c. a high heat capacity in water d. adhesion between water molecules

A.Cohesive and adhesive properties of water

Explanation:

Cohesion refers to the attraction of the one molecule of water to another with the help of hydrogen bonding. Adhesion is the property of the water molecules to combine themselves with the other molecules of different type. The capillary action is the conduction of water from the soil by the roots of the plants to other parts of the plant. The capillary action utilizes the cohesive and adhesive forces.

The water molecules attract each other with the help of cohesive forces, then attach themselves to the inner walls of the plants through adhesive forces. The water moves upwards against the gravitational force in the form of a tube. This is called as the capillary action.
