Answer:

The correct answer is "Water molecules connect through hydrogen bonds".

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrogen bonds are the main binding forces that keep the atoms within waters close to each other. This attraction among hydrogen atoms "sticks" the water molecules, and creates the water property of cohesion. This property is what allows plants to draw liquid water up from their roots, moving up through the xylem and into the leaves.
