Answer is: b.) they are the strongest of all the intermolecular forces.

Intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules or particles.

The London dispersion force is the weakest intermolecular force.

Dispersion force is also called an induced dipole-induced dipole attraction.

The London dispersion force (intermolecular force) is a temporary attractive force between molecules.

There are several types of intermolecular forces: hydrogen bonding, ion-induced dipole forces, ion-dipole forces andvan der Waals forces.

There are two kinds of Van der Waals forces: weak London dispersion forces and stronger dipole-dipole forces.
