which property of water explains how water droplets are absorbed by a paper towel?
a waters adhesion to other types of molecules
b waters high specific heat
c waters high surface tension
d waters buffering capacity

Explanation:

Adhesion is the attraction between different substances. Water adheres to the paper - towel fibers, allowing water droplets to be absorbed. High specific heat relates to heat capacity, high surface tension is about the "skin - like" property of water surface, and buffering capacity is about maintaining pH. None of these other properties explain water absorption by paper towel.

Answer:

A. Water's adhesion to other types of molecules
