Which of the following properties of water enables it to move from the roots to the leaves of a plant?

it expands as it freezes.
it is an excellent solvent.
it exhibits cohesive behavior.
it is able to moderate temperature.

Answer is C: water exhibits cohesive properties.

Explanation:

Water exhibits both cohesive and adhesive properties. Cohesion is the attractive forces between same kind of molecules i.e between water molecules due to hydrogen bonding. Cohesion is responsible for the surface tension of water. Adhesion is the attractive forces between different kind of molecules. Its responsible for the capillary action of water. These forces are very important feature of water because it helps in the movement of water upwards towards the leaf from the roots.

idk what the options are but

these is a strong electrostatic attraction between the ions hence a lot of energy is needed to overcome this attraction

this is why the boiling points are so high
