Answer 1

A - II, B - IV, C - I, D - III

Explanation:

List - I	List - II
A. Cohesion	II. Mutual attraction among water molecules
B. Adhesion	IV. Attraction toward polar surfaces
C. Surface tension	I. More attraction in the liquid phase
D. Guttation	III. Water loss in the liquid phase

1. Cohesion is the force of attraction between water molecules, which helps pull additional water molecules through the xylem.
2. Adhesion refers to the attraction between water molecules and polar surfaces, aiding the upward movement of water in the xylem.
3. Surface tension is defined as the force acting per unit length, and it causes water molecules to attract each other more strongly in the liquid state than in the gaseous state in plants.
4. The removal of excess water from leaves through their tips is called guttation.
