Hydrogen bond indeed although water is held by hydrogen bond but the question is asking centre on xylem and water molecule so the answer is C
Without the adhesion between the water molecule and xylem osmotic pressure water may not rise and subsequently transpirate and gluttinate in plants.
its hydrogen bond between similar molecules
