Why is a water strider (those small bugs that walk on the surface of the water without sinking) able to stay on top of the surface of the water and
not sink?
Select one:
a. Water has adhesive properties which keep the insect on the
surface.
O b. The water's surface tension that is a result of its cohesive
properties makes this possible.
O c. The covalent bonds that hold a water molecule together are
responsible for this ability.
O d. The insect is less dense than water so it naturally floats.
