Trevino · Answer 1

C is the answer

constantly running into different molecules

Milagros Stark · Answer 2

Answer: A.) always near the same molecules

Explanation:

The capillary action of water is the movement of water from roots to the leaves and other plant parts against the gravitational force of earth. This conduction of water is facilitated by the two properties of water that are cohesion and adhesion.

Cohesion can be define as the attraction of the molecule of water towards another water molecule. Adhesion can be define as the attraction of the molecules of water towards the different type of molecule.

Among the given options A is the correct option because of the fact that the attraction of water molecules among themselves gives water a definite volume in the glass. Cohesive forces keeps the water molecules close together.
