Biology

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Water has surface tension due to cohesion that allows it to 'stick' together. This cohesion is created by the fact that water is polar and has unequal distribution of charges. The oxygen becomes slightly negative as it is surrounded by positive hydrogen. In turn, the hyrdogen becomes slightly positive.

This means that the hydrogen molecule is temporarily attracted to the oxygen of another molecule. This causes surface tension and allows light objects to float on top of it

Hope this helps!
