waters cohesive and adhesive properties are due to
water molecules repelling each other because of hydrogen bonding
water molecules repelling each other because of covalent bonding
water molecules attraction to each other because of hydrogen bonding
water molecules attraction to each other because of ionic bonding
water molecules attraction to each other because of covalent bonding

Explanation:

Cohesion is the attraction between like - molecules. In water, hydrogen bonds form between water molecules, causing them to stick together. Adhesion is the attraction between unlike - molecules. Hydrogen bonding also plays a role in water's adhesion to other substances. Water molecules do not repel each other due to hydrogen bonding, and covalent bonding is within a water molecule (not responsible for cohesion/adhesion between molecules), and water does not have ionic bonding between its molecules.

Answer:

water molecules attraction to each other because of hydrogen bonding
