Solution

The correct option is A Cohesive forces

A.Cohesive force – force of attraction present between the water molecules is called cohesive force. Due to this, water column maintains tensile strength.

B.Pressure force – force developed to accumulation of pressure.

C.Suction force – force exists in the sucking of water.

D.Adhesive force – force of attraction exists between the water molecules and walls of the vessels is called adhesive force. Due to this, capillarity exists in the water column.
So, the correct option is ‘cohesive force’.
