The correct response is:
Cohesion allows water to stick to itself and flow up through the xylem through capillary action.
Cohesion and adhesion are critical properties of water that assist in its movement in plants, particularly in the xylem, where water travels from the roots to the leaves. Cohesion helps water molecules stick together, while adhesion allows water to cling to the walls of the xylem vessels, contributing to the capillary action that facilitates the upward movement of water.
