What is cohesion?
A
Water’s ability to stick to itself
B
Water’s ability to stick to other substances
C
The strength of the cohesion of all the water molecules combined
D
Tape, glue and other adhesives
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Adhesion and cohesion are water properties that affect every water molecule on Earth and also the interaction of water molecules with molecules of other substances. Essentially, cohesion and adhesion are the “stickiness” that water molecules have for each other and for other substances.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrogen bonds cause water to be exceptionally attracted to each other. Therefore, water is very cohesive.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cohesion is the property of like molecules (of the same substance) to stick to each other due to mutual attraction. Adhesion is the property of different molecules or surfaces to cling to each other. For example, solids have high cohesive properties so they do not stick to the surfaces they come in contact.
