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 amino acid?

Proteins are made up of substances called amino acids. Proteins and amino acids are the components of life. Amino acids are the byproducts of the digestion or breakdown of proteins. Amino acids are used by the body to create proteins that aid in the digestion of meals.

Organic substances known as amino acids have both an amino and a carboxyl group. They can be differentiated by the functional group R that is attached. Six of the twenty amino acids that make up proteins have R-groups that are either bases or acids.
