(A) The correct matching is as follows:$1$. Cohesion $(P)$: It refers to the mutual attraction between water molecules $(III)$.$2$. Adhesion $(Q)$: It refers to the attraction of water molecules to polar surfaces,such as the walls of tracheary elements $(II)$.$3$. Surface Tension $(R)$: It explains why water molecules are attracted to each other more in the liquid phase than in the gaseous phase $(I)$.Therefore,the correct sequence is $(P-III), (Q-II), (R-I)$.
