Question

what primarily drives capillary action in water?
waters low surface tension.
cohesion, adhesion and surface tension
the high vapor pressure of water

Explanation:

Capillary action in water is mainly due to cohesion (attraction between water - water molecules), adhesion (attraction between water and other substances), and surface tension. High vapor pressure of water is not related to capillary action. Water actually has a relatively high surface tension.

Answer:

cohesion, adhesion and surface tension
