Cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension are properties of capillarity. But the answer should be Cohesion.
Cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension are properties of capillarity. But the answer should be Cohesion.

No, adhesion is correct because water posses both cohesion and adhesion property. And HG posses only cohesion.

D is the correct option because the wetting and non-wetting phenomenon is due to cohesion and adhesion.

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.

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

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

Yes, surface tension is due to cohesion only. So, both A&D are correct answer.
