Answer:

D. Capillary action and gravity

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is best molecule to perform the capillary action but not only molecule to perform it. Capillary action is a force which able to flow the liquid in narrow manner to oppose the gravity forces, it pulls water up and oppose the downward flow of the water. Capillary action and gravity are the two forces acted upon each other in opposite direction. Capillary action and plastics are the causative factor of water logging and urban floods.
