rewatch

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The term "hydrophobic" is derived from Greek roots. "Hydro -" means water, and "-phobic" means fearing or having an aversion to. So, hydrophobic substances repel water. "Water - loving" would be hydrophilic (from "hydro -" meaning water and "-philic" meaning loving). "Unequal sharing of electrons" is related to polar covalent bonds in chemistry (like in water molecule itself where oxygen and hydrogen share electrons unequally), but that's a different concept.

Answer:

water - fearing
