Answer:

Option A, the liquid level in a capillary tube will drop below the surrounding liquid and the surface in the capillary tube will have a convex meniscus.

Explanation:

A liquid will wet the surface of the container in which it is contained only when the adhesive forces between the molecules of the liquid are weaker than the adhesive force between the surface wall of the container and water.

A  convex meniscus is formed when the attractive forces between the molecules of liquid (cohesion) becomes greater than attractive forced between the water molecule and the container's surface (adhesion)

Convex meniscus simultaneously move the surface of the liquid in the downward direction due to which its level become lower than the surrounding layer.

Hence, option A is correct

What is meant by evolution through natural selection
VikaD [51]
Hello!

Natural selection is the way that animals evolve. 

The theory of natural selection is that the animals that do not have a specific trait to survive in their environment will die. The animals that do have the trait will survive. The animals that survive will then pass the trait down to their offspring, who will also likely survive because they have the trait. This is how species evolve and continue to survive in their environment. 

The species evolve because only the fittest survive (this is known as "survival of the fittest"). The animals that do not have the needed traits will die and they cannot have offspring. 

I hope this helps answer your question! Have a great day!
