Answer: B: Hydrogen bonds

Step-by-step explanation: Hydrogen bond is a bond formed between a hydrogen atom and a electronegative atom such as fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen. It is a strong bond.

Ionic bond is formed by the transfer of electrons between metals and non metals.

London dispersion force is a temporary attractive force that results when the electrons in adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms form temporary dipoles.

Dipole induced dipole interactions is a weak attraction that results when a polar molecule induces a dipole in a neighboring atom or a non polar molecule by disturbing the arrangement of electrons.
