If a capillary tube of insufficient length (shorter than the height to which water would normally rise) is dipped vertically in water, what will happen to the water rising in it?

Options:

• A: Water will overflow continuously like a fountain.
• B: Water will not rise at all in the capillary tube.
• C: Water will rise to the top and then start dripping from the sides.
• D: Water will rise to the top and adjust its meniscus radius so that it does not overflow.
