B
opposites
C
cohesion
D
adhesion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An electric dipole is a system of two equal but opposite charges a fixed distance apart.

Detailed explanation-2: -The pole with relatively more electrons is said to have negative polarity; the other is assigned positive polarity. If the two poles are connected by a conductive path, such as a wire, electrons flow from the negative pole to the positive pole. This flow of charge constitutes an electric current.

Detailed explanation-3: -polarity, in chemical bonding, the distribution of electrical charge over the atoms joined by the bond.

Detailed explanation-4: -magnetic polarity (countable and uncountable, plural magnetic polarities) (physics) the state of being a north pole or south pole; the magnetic equivalent of electric charge.
