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 water. This difference might be due to

A

the liquid has density greater then that of water

B

the tube used in the second experiment has 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
