The term ‘tensile strength’ represents that there is

A

A strong cohesion force between water molecules, so that column does not break when stretched by transpiration pull

A strong adhesion between water molecules and walls of xylem vessels so the column does not break and it is stretched by transpiration pull

C

Absence of vacuoles in the vessels, so the column does not break and it is stretched by transpiration pull
