Answer:

D. Capillary action

Step-by-step explanation:

Capillary action is defined as "the movement of water within the spaces of a porous material due to the forces of adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension." All of the other answers are technically right because they are all present when the water is traveling upward, but Capillary Action is the most correct answer provided because it is the description of what is hapeneing as a whole.
