At One Point It Was Thought That Capillary Action Was

At one point it was thought that capillary action was responsible for the flow of water through tree xylem.It was later found that capillary action could not account for the flow of water because

A) xylem vessels are too large to be able to draw water through capillary action.
B) xylem vessels are too narrow to be able to draw water through capillary action.
C) capillary action is not strong enough to draw water mixed with solutes.
D) xylem breaks water surface tension, making capillary action impossible.
E) capillary action is not strong enough to move water more than a short distance.
