Renee · Answer 1

The correct answer is option A, water droplet found on a spider web in the morning

Explanation:

In adhesion, water molecule gets attracted towards other substances as in the case of water droplets lingering on the spider web (Option A)

In case of cohesion, a water molecule gets attracted towards other water molecule as in the case of water molecules forming dew droplet. (Option B)

Evaporation (Option C) is a physical process in which liquid water converts to gaseous water. And also water dissolving salt into a solution (Option D) is a chemical process in which molecular arrangements are considered.
