These waxes are highly hydrophobic (repellant) of water, so the correct answer would be D) repel.

The wax coating put on the car creates a water repellant sheila that causes the water to bead up on the surface of the wax, rather than directly impacting the paint and surface of the body of the car. This prolongs the life and quality of the appearance of the car.

Answer: D) repel

Explanation:

Car wax is particularly used after car washing and polishing. This will allow the addition of a layer of shine to the car. The composition of beeswax and carnauba wax are the two additives which are included in the car wax. This composition is hydrophobic in nature which means the wax components will not mix with water or any other solvent and will help in retaining the shine over the body of car.

On the basis of the above explanation, the wax components will repel water.
