Correct answer: A. Atomic attraction and welding

  • A. Atomic attraction and welding
  • B. Annealing

  • D. Adaptation

Explanation

Gold foil is cohesive because clean gold surfaces attract atomically and cold-weld when brought into contact under pressure. Annealing softens the foil, whereas wedging and adaptation describe placement or shaping rather than the cause of cohesion.
