Answer:

a. Dipole-dipole bonding

Step-by-step explanation:

SO2 has dipole-dipole bonding. This is because of the difference in the electronegativities of Sulphur and oxygen. Moreover, the lone pair of electrons on S gives it bent shape with a net dipole unlike CO2 which has a linear shape.( This why CO2 does not have any dipole moment).

So, the correct answer is a.
