The property of water that contributes to its ability to stick to certain surfaces is called __________.
ADHESION
Water is a polar molecule, and thus can adhere to different surfaces; thus, adhesion is the correct answer here. Cohesion is close, as cohesion describes the ability of water to stick to itself due to its polarity. We want the property that allows water to stick to other surfaces, not to itself. Polymerization involves chains of similar molecules, and does not occur in water. Parsimony is the principle that the simplest explanation is usually the reality of a situation (such as when tracing evolutionary histories). Gravity does not play into the properties of water.
