Answer: Hydrogen bonding

Step-by-step explanation:

The hydrogen bonding in water accounts for the properties like cohesion, adhesion, high specific heat.

The hydrogen bonding in water is a dynamic attraction which is found in between the oxygen molecules and hydrogen molecules.

Two oxygen molecules interact with one hydrogen molecules to form hydrogen bonding which provides water some properties like cohesion, adhesion, ability to dissolve different solutes in it.
