Which example best shows that the chemistry of water is helpful to plants?

Water’s polarity produces a high density, which allows water to move to the leaves. Water’s bent shape causes a slow passage of nutrients up to the leaves of plants. Water’s polarity causes cohesion that pulls other water molecules up through a plant.
Water’s bent shape reduces its own passage through the cell membranes of roots.

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cohesion is the property of particles of sticking together.

It is known that water is a polar solvent and due to this there is partial positive charge on hydrogen ion and partial negative charge on oxygen atom. This polarity of water causes cohesion which further helps in the upward movement of water molecules up through the plant.
