The best explanation as to why water forms beads on leaves with waxy cuticles would be the strong intermolecular forces between water molecules. The correct option would be C.
There are 2 types of molecular forces:
- Adhesive force: forces between molecules of different substances
- Cohesive force: forces between molecules of the same substance.
When the cohesive force between molecules is greater than the adhesive force, the molecules will cling more to themselves than to the molecules of different substance.
In other words, water forms beads on waxy surface of leaves because the cohesive force holding the water molecules together is stronger than the adhesive force between the water molecules and the waxy surface of the leaves.

<span>Obesity
is a more serious degree of overweight and it is estimated that 67% of the
adult population is obese. However it is also estimated that 33 percentage of
adult men are obese and 35 percentage of adult women are obese. Furthermore,
middle aged in 40s to 59 years old American adult has the highest prevalence of
obesity in which 40% the women is higher than in men. </span>
Homeostasis can be defined as the state of maintenance of the constant internal conditions by the living organisms. The homeostasis is maintained by the body so that it may function properly. The homeostasis will be disturbed by the reduced intake of the food and water. Healthy intake of water and food is essential in maintaining the homeostasis of the body. The elevated or depressed blood pH along with extreme body temperatures will also disturb the homeostasis of the body making the person sick. Moreover, certain infectious organisms also alters the homeostasis of the body.
Hence, all the options are correct.
