Cohesion and adhesion.
Water rises in a straw by capillary action: adhesion (water molecules sticking to the straw) pulls water up the walls, and cohesion (water molecules sticking to each other) draws more water along, aided by surface tension. The other choices are different phase-change or water-cycle processes.
