I think Hg does not wet the glass due to the virtue of cohesion as in the cohesion, atoms get together only with similar atoms of the same material.

Yes I too also think that A. Is the right answer.

Surface tension is due cohesion only. So it is same.

You are right @Sharad.
Surface tension is only due to cohesive property of fluid.
Surface tension is only due to cohesive property of fluid.

As per my opinion, the correct answer, Cohesion and Surface Tension: Both Option are correct.

Surface tension is binary property Adhesion and cohesion. But main reason is cohesion behind it.

As the cohesion is more than the adhesion so it doesn't wet the glass.
Angle of contact is obtuse.
Angle of contact is obtuse.
