A)capillary action
B)friction
C)surface tension
D)heat exchange

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cohesive force created by hydrogen bonding in water is surface tension, which enables objects to float and allows water to slightly overfill a glass. Capillary action is a different phenomenon that involves the movement of water within narrow spaces due to adhesive forces between water and the material surrounding it. Friction and heat exchange are not related to the described phenomenon.
