A is incorrect. This sticking together of like substances is called cohesion. Depending on how attracted molecules of the same substance are to one another, the substance will be more or less cohesive. Hydrogen bonds cause water to be exceptionally attracted to each other. Therefore, water is very cohesive.

B is correct. The property in which water molecules stick to one another tightly. The property in which water molecules easily evaporate into a gas.

C is incorrect. In cohesion, water molecules are attracted to each other (because of hydrogen bonding), keeping the molecules together at the liquid-air (gas) interface, although there is no more room in the glass.

Answer:

eagle- chordata phylum

ladybud- Insecta class

scorpian- Arachnida class

lobster- Crustacea class

snail- Mollusca phylum

Explanation:

The organism that contains a notochord at some of its life cycle stage are called chordates and all vertebrates are chordates so eagle comes under phylum Chordata.

Insecta is the largest class of phylum Arthropoda which contains organisms which have jointed legs, exoskeleton and segmented body for example ladybird, playing mantis, etc.

Arachnids are animals which have jointed legs and in this class spider are the largest order which contains scorpions, mites, ticks, etc.

Crustaceans are invertebrates which have hard shell made up of calcium for example lobster, prawn, shrimp, etc.

Mollusks are very large invertebrate phylum which contains a soft segmented body that is usually present inside a shell made up of calcium. for example snails.
