Question

water striders have adapted to take advantage of water cohesion. low surface tension of water. hydrogen bonds result in water cohesion creating high surface tension. covalent bonds result in water cohesion

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Water striders can walk on water because hydrogen bonds between water molecules result in water cohesion, which creates high surface - tension. This allows the water striders to take advantage of the surface tension to stay afloat. Covalent bonds are within water molecules and not directly responsible for water cohesion at the surface. And water has high surface tension, not low.

Answer:

C. Hydrogen bonds result in water cohesion creating high surface tension
