Answer:
NH_3

Explanation:

a)
H_2:
This is a non polar covalent compound which are held by weak vanderwaal forces of attraction.

b)
SO_2:
This is a covalent compound which is polar due to the presence of lone pair of electrons and are held by dipole-dipole forces of attraction.

c)
NH_3: These are joined by a special type of dipole dipole attraction called as hydrogen bond. It forms between electronegative nitrogen atom and hydrogen atom and is the strongest interaction.

d)
CF_4:
This is a covalent compound and is non polar which are held by weak vanderwaal forces of attraction.

e)
BCl_3:
This is a covalent compound and is non polar which are held by weak vander waal forces of attraction.
