The right option is B. Cohesion

Cohesion is the property of molecules in which the same molecules are attracted and held together by various intermolecular forces. Water molecules stick together to each other because of its polarity and the joint action of strong hydrogen bonds between water molecules. The intermolecular forces give water a high cohesiveness and, also surface tension.
