Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What BEST defines adhesion.
A
Water molecules bonding to each other due to the hydrophobic nature of water.
B
Water molecules bonded to other other surfaces due to the transparency of water.
C
Water molecules sticking to each other due to the polarity of water.
D
Water molecules sticking to other surfaces due to the polarity of water.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Adhesion is caused by the polarity of water. Water molecules have an uneven sharing of electrons due to covalent bonding. This creates a negative and positive end of each water molecule. This results in water being attracted to other molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water molecules stick to other materials due to its polar nature. This property is called adhesion. 6.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cohesion: Hydrogen Bonds Make Water Sticky In the case of water, hydrogen bonds form between neighboring hydrogen and oxygen atoms of adjacent water molecules. The attraction between individual water molecules creates a bond known as a hydrogen bond.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cohesion and adhesion are two water properties that describe how water molecules interact with each other. and how water molecules interact with other things like leaves or even you. Cohesion means that water likes to stick to itself. and adhesion means that water likes to stick to other things.
