Explanation:

1. Capillarity is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like gravity. It occurs due to the combined effects of adhesion (attraction between liquid and solid - surface molecules) and cohesion (attraction between liquid - molecules).
2. The capillarity is highest in container A and lowest in container C. This is because the water rises to the greatest height (3.6 cm) in container A and the least height (1.2 cm) in container C. A higher rise of water indicates greater capillarity.
3. There is an inverse relationship between particle size and capillarity. Smaller particle sizes lead to smaller pore spaces, which in turn result in greater capillarity as the adhesive forces between the liquid and the solid - surface are more significant in smaller pores. Larger particle sizes mean larger pore spaces and less capillarity.
4. For the Pore Space vs Container graph: Assuming the pore space is related to particle size inversely, container A (0.10 - cm diameter particles) would have the smallest pore space, container B (0.40 - cm diameter particles) would have a medium - sized pore space, and container C (0.70 - cm diameter particles) would have the largest pore space. So, the bar for A would be the shortest, B would be medium - length, and C would be the longest. For the Time vs Container graph, no time data is given, so we can't accurately complete it. For the Height vs Container graph, the bar for A would reach up to 3.6 cm, the bar for B would reach up to 2.4 cm, and the bar for C would reach up to 1.2 cm.

Answer:

1. The ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like gravity due to adhesion and cohesion.
2. Capillarity is highest in container A and lowest in container C.
3. There is an inverse relationship; smaller particle size leads to greater capillarity.
4. Pore Space vs Container: Shortest bar for A, medium - length for B, longest for C. Time vs Container: No data to complete. Height vs Container: Bar for A at 3.6 cm, bar for B at 2.4 cm, bar for C at 1.2 cm.
