B. is a polar covalent molecule

Most of water's unique properties, such as high thermal capacity, expansion upon solidification, high boiling point, and many others are due to the fact that water is a very polar molecule capable of forming hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonding is the strongest intermolecular force that is possible between two molecules.
