The ability to rise in thin tubes and Ability to resist a pulling force are respectively referred to as

A

Tensile strength and capillarity

B

Adhesion and capillarity

C

Cohesion and adhesion

D

Capillarity and tensile strength

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Cohesion, Adhesion and surface tension impart high tensile strength to water. The high tensile strength imparts an ability to resist a pulling fore and high capillarity. The ability to rise in tubes is called capillarity. The thin tubes of xylem work like a capillary tube.
