The fluid falls down due to strong cohesion but its shape is curved downwards. So the answer is B.

Curve upward. Heavy liquid and water downward cover.

Because in the case of mercury medium cohesive force between molecules is greater than adhesive force and capillary fall occurs.

So C is correct.
