The absorption of ink by blotting paper involves:

  • A.Viscosity of ink
  • B.Capillary action phenomenon
  • C.Diffusion of ink through the blotting
  • D.Siphon action

Answer: B

Blotting paper works by capillary action.

Its loosely packed cellulose fibres leave fine pores between them. Ink wets the fibres, so adhesion exceeds cohesion and surface tension draws the liquid into the pores - the narrower the pore, the stronger the pull.
