Which characteristic is a property of water?

A. It is made of polar molecules.

B. It has low surface tension.

C. It has weak adhesion.

D. It is densest as a solid.

Answer: The correct answer is option (A).

Explanation:

Polar molecules are molecules in which formation of partial charges takes place due to which dipole moment gets created in a molecule. Molecules with polar bonds that s bond with partly ionic character. And water is of the example of polar molecule.

Electronegative oxygen atom in water molecule attracts the electron bond pair towards itself which generates partial negative charge on oxygen atom and partial positive charge on both hydrogen atoms.

Where as water has higher value surface tension due to strong intermolecular association of the water molecule due to presence of hydrogen bonding. And it is more denser is liquid state than in its solid state.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).
