METAL: found in periodic table, lithium, shiny, lose electrons easily, good conductor, elements

NONMETAL: brittle, ductile, semimetals, found in periodic table, often gain electrons, semiconductors, carbon, shiny, poor conductor, elements

METALLOID: solid, non- ductile, malleable, found in periodic table, silicon, shiny, can be liquids, elements

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
