When a capillary tube stands in water , ...

When a capillary tube stands in water , water rises to a certain height in the tube . A similar experiment is done using another liquid and it is found that the liquid rises more than the water
This difference might be due to

A

the liquid has density greater than that of water

B

the tube used in the second experiment is larger bore

C

the temperature of the liquid is higher than that of water

D

the surface tension of liquid is greater than that of water
