Answer:

Cohesion and capillary action

Step-by-step explanation:

Cohesion and capillary action are the answers. Cohesion is the attraction of water to water. Capillary action is when water travels up without something helping or propelling it. So, using cohesion, the liquid in the example is attracted to itself and sticks together. Capillary action occurs, making the stuck- together liquid travel up the straw and be higher than the liquid in the cup.

Hope this helps! :)
