If the length of tube is less and cannot accommodate the maximum rise of liquid then
a)	liquid will form fountain	b)	liquid will not rise
c)	the meniscus will adjust itself so that the water does not spill	d)	none of the above

(c)

If the length of the tube  is less than  is found that the liquid dose not overflow. In a tube of insufficient length, the liquid rises upto the top of the tube and increases the radius of curvature, of its mentiscus to a value  ,so that                                              

ie, smaller the length  of the tube, greater will be the radius of curvature  of the meniscus, but the liquid will never overflow.
