Which of the following contribute to the reason behind the origin of surface tension?

Which of the following contribute to the reason behind the origin of surface tension? Correct Answer both cohesive forces and adhesive forces

The molecules on the surface of a liquid experience cohesive forces due to surrounding liquid molecules acting downward and adhesive forces due to surrounding gaseous molecules acting upwards. Surface tension orginates due to this unbalanced force on the surface molecules.
