Explanation:

Cohesion is the attraction between like - molecules. In water, cohesion leads to surface tension, which is the property allowing water molecules to stick together and resist external forces. Polarity refers to the separation of electric charge in a molecule. Adhesion is the attraction between different types of molecules. Water being a universal solvent is related to its ability to dissolve many substances, not to cohesion - related sticking together of water molecules.
