Water rises up to a height $h$ in a capillary tube on the surface of the Earth in a stationary condition. The value of $h$ increases if this tube is taken:

  • A
    On the Sun
  • B
    On the poles
  • C
    In a lift going upward with acceleration
  • D
    In a lift going downward with acceleration
