Question

There is a state of weightlessness, g=0 and h=∞ in an artificial satellite, but there will be no overflowing of water in the tube and water will stand up to the maximum height in the tube available with a new surface with a higher radius of curvature.

So, the water will rise to its full length.

Hence, the correct option is D: full length of capillary tube.
