NEET (UG) 2023 — Question 168

Match List I with List II :

List IList II
A. CohesionI. More attraction in liquid phase
B. AdhesionII. Mutual attraction among water molecules
C. Surface tensionIII. Water loss in liquid phase
D. GuttationIV. Attraction towards polar surfaces
  1. Option A:

    A – IV, B – III, C – II, D – I

  2. Option B:

    A – III, B – I, C – IV, D – II

  3. Option C:

    A – II, B – I, C – IV, D – III

  4. Option D:

    A – II, B – IV, C – I, D – III

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

Cohesion represents mutual attraction between water molecules. Adhesion represents attraction

of water molecules to polar surfaces Surface tension represents water molecules are attracted to

each other in the liquid phase more than to water in the gas phase. Guttation represent loss of

water in liquid phase. Thus, option (4) is correct.
