Answer 1

A. The chemical makeup of water provides a high surface tension on which the insect can walk

Answer 2

Insects can walk on water due to the high surface tension of water, which is a result of the cohesive forces between water molecules. This surface tension creates a "skin" on the water's surface that can support the weight of small, lightweight insects.
