The correct response is:
**Cohesion allows water to stick to itself and flow up through the xylem through capillary action.**
Cohesion and adhesion work together in the xylem to facilitate the movement of water from the roots to the leaves, with cohesion allowing water molecules to stick together and adhesion helping them stick to the walls of the xylem vessels.
