Answer:

SO2

Step-by-step explanation:

Dipole-Dipole exist between parmanent dipoles in a molecule. THis means that molecule must have a parmanent dipole moment in it.

Example - HCl

Hydrogen bonding is an attraction between lone pair of an electronegative element and H atom of same or different molecule. H must be covalantly attached to either F, N or O.

Example - H2O

Among the molecules given in the list only SO2 and H2O exihibits parmanent moment. As BCl3 , CBr4 and H2 are symmetric compounds.

Since, SO2 cannot exihibit H- bonding only dipole-dipole forces as its strongest intermolecular force.
