Water is a highly polar molecule with strong hydrogen bonding. one of the results of this is that water can climb up a narrow tube. the phenomenom is known as:
A. catapult action (aka trebuchet onfire)
B. capillary action
C. carpel tunnel syndrom
D. capitalization

Option B, Capillary action

Explanation:

Water molecules attach with the molecules of the surface of the container in which they are kept. This is because of the cohesive force within the molecules of water and adhesive force between the molecules of water and other substances.

The water rises up in a capillary tube because of water molecules adhere at the edges thereby creating a meniscus in the upside turned direction. The surface is kept intact by the surface tension

Now capillary action specifically occurs when adhesion to the surface of the container is higher than the cohesion between the water molecules.  

Hence, option B is correct
