When a tube of smaller diameter is dipped in water, the water rises in the tube due to viscosity of water.

                Option B is correct. Due to Kinetic energy converted into pressure energy.

                Capillary height is inversely proportional to radius of tube. Option B.

                Due to capillary, the rise and fall of water has happened in the tube.

                Kinetic energy and pressure energy is converted to a head of water.

                Water tends to rise because it has capillary rise property.

                Combined effect of adhesion cohesion and surface tension.

                Fluid rise due to adhesion and fall due to cohesion.

                Due to cohesion and adhesion fluid rise up and down.

                It is rise due to pressure in each water particle.

                Capillary tube diameter approaches 0.6 mm-2.2 mm.
