Cohesion: When water molecules stick to one another through cohesion, they fill the column in the xylem and act as a huge single molecule of water (like water in a straw). Capillary action: Capillary action is the movement of a liquid across the surface of a solid caused by adhesion between the two.

Which of the following will allow for the greatest reduction in an individual’s carbon footprint?
goldfiish [28.3K]

The carbon footprint can be decreased by a great amount if the incandescent bulbs are replaced with the compact fluorescent bulbs. The compact fluorescent bulbs uses approximately seventy five percent less energy than the incandescent bulbs as they do not use heating mechanism to light. This leads  to less emission of the green house gases and thereby reducing the carbon footprint.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option a - replacing incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs'.
