Answer:

The correct answer is option C, that is, capillary action and gravity.

Explanation:

Capillary action plays an essential role in moving the water around. It is illustrated as the movement of water inside the spaces of a porous substance because of the forces of cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension.  

Capillary action takes place as water is sticky, and due to the forces of cohesion and adhesion, the molecules of water are fascinated towards each other and stick to other components. Capillary action takes place when the adhesion to the walls is robust in comparison to the cohesive forces between the molecules of the liquid. However, capillary action is restricted by the forces that work against it, that is, surface tension and gravity.

Answer:

C. Capillary action and gravity

Explanation:

Capillary action lets water "stick" to the walls of the soil,  and gravity pulls it down, therfore opposing its force

seropon [69]

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

The example given in the question is an example of gene flow which can be described as the movement of specific genes from the the gene pool population to population.

The act of catching the bigger fish and letting the smaller ones escape is changing the gene pool of the North East Arctic Cod and causing the next generations to have smaller and smaller sizes which is given as the genetic variation decrease due to gene flow.

I hope this answer helps.
