Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is the Formation of soap bubbles.
Detailed explanation-2: -Capillary action occurs because water is sticky, thanks to the forces of cohesion (water molecules like to stay close together) and adhesion (water molecules are attracted and stick to other substances).
Detailed explanation-3: -Because water molecules like to stick together (cohesion) and like to stick to the walls of the tubes of cellulose (adhesion), they rise up the tubes all the way from the roots to the leaves. Water then evaporates from the leaves, helping to draw up more water from the roots. This process is called capillary action.
Detailed explanation-4: -Placing a straw into a glass of water. Dipping paper towels into water. The sap rising from roots in trees. A sponge absorbing water. 02-Aug-2021
