Solution

The correct option is A
Particles of matter attracts each other

Water is a liquid in which particles are held together with a force of attraction, which is less than that of a solid but more than that of gas. This force of attraction between the particles of water is enough to maintain the continuous flow of water from the tap even if we try to disturb the flow with our hands.
