i think my school is CORRECT in my opinion the correct answer should be D because adhesive force is a force that holds molecules of two different substances together E.G water and glass, that explains why water wets glass because the force of adhesion between the water molecules and glass is greater than the cohesive force that holds the molecules of water together and also explains why mecury form small spherical droplets because the force of cohesion between its molecules is greater than the force of adhesion between the mecury itself and any other surface. So think the answer should be D because it is cohesive force that makes water stick to one another and form beads
