What is the reason behind the high surface tension of water?

The density of the water molecule helps it to cohere to nearby water molecules, forming a skin over it.
The polarity of the water molecule helps it to cohere to nearby water molecules, forming a skin over it.
The weight of the water molecule helps it to cohere to nearby water molecules, forming a skin over it.

Answer - The polarity of the water molecule helps it to cohere to nearby water molecule. Forming a skin over.

Reasoning - Since the polarity is all close and wanting to bond they have a surface tension which come together to making a skin like over.
