"Cohesion" is the one among the following choices given in the question that best explains the surface tension of water.
I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your great help.
Please mark this as the brainiest answer
the surface tension of water is 72 dynes/cm at 25°C. It would take a force of 72 dunes to break a surface film of water 1 cm long. The surface tension of water decreases as the temperature decreases. The surface tension arises from the polar nature of the water molecule. Hope this helps!
